Lately, I have been struggling to find the right words to say. I am not referring to writing. I mean, out loud when I am talking to an actual human being (not one of my invisible characters with whom I probably converse a little too often). Sadly, interaction with people is becoming a rare occurrence since I started living like a hermit in order to complete my writing projects on time.
I find myself saying things like, "what's the word I'm looking for?" and "you know what I'm trying to say, it's on the tip of my tongue!"
I wonder if my brain is operating under some form of conservation of energy plan? Perhaps the creative zone of my brain is in overdrive, and the part of my brain that controls speech is experiencing a power drain, making the search and retrieval of words difficult.
I think that I've been writing them all down, and there's simply none left for talking.
What do you think? Is it the conservation of brain power or just brain freeze? Or maybe I'm just getting old and brain farts are normal? Or maybe I've had a stroke? Perhaps, I should consult a physician.
