I am struggling with my thoughts!
Frankly speaking, as the title suggests, I ran out of cool profound topics. Mr. Dahl told us to write "I am struggling with my thoughts" when we can't write any more during free write period. It is actually a pretty profound line if we take a second look at it. You do not really engage a fight with your thoughts, so it is not a metaphor by itself. Although it appeals to normal readers as a simple statement- I am out of ideas, it really mean much more than that, something deeper. It suggests that we are not thinking as what we are thinking. It surely does sound paradoxical, but if you think about it, what if I have split personality? My alter ego is represented as my thoughts. Thus, it really means the exact opposite of running out of ideas. The phrase really mean, I have too many ideas conflicting with each other that I cannot decide which one to put it down on the paper or type it out on the screen. This is the direct result of the indecisive nature of writers. When there are two or more possible endings, it is really a pain to actually decide which one to be published. Therefore, I should correct my earlier statement. I have plenty of topics/ideas to post and yet I cannot decide which one is better so I typed this out!
