a gift horse and it’s mouth

After all that trouble, all that confusion, all that effort and time I wasted

I winged it.

I spent hours pondering possible topics, wasting precious NaNoing time to think about it and trying compile the perfect speech and then it all came down to it: The day, the lesson, the open floor and the utter blank and thusly the complete lack of notes.

So, what do I do?

I make people laugh.

I flap arms around and flick my wrists and spew nonsense and make them laugh so much they don’t notice I have no idea what I’m doing.

It’s a gift.

It’s also a pain in the arse.
