Break That Metaphoric Dam!

For me, writing is like a dam breaking, all the water breaking through what is meant to keep it in place. My thoughts are often a mumbo-jumbo of incomprehensible, sometimes redundant nonsense in my head. My mind is like the ocean, vast and overwhelming at times, sometimes calm, but almost always with new waves of ideas rushing in at breakneck speed. This especially happens when I try to write. I have so many ideas in my head, but when I try to put them on paper (or blog, etc.), there is a dam, so to speak, keeping me from putting my ocean of thoughts into physical form. Everyone knows what I'm talking about: writer's block! But, when I finally find the right things to say, relief comes and the flow turns from a few measly words into sentences, into paragraphs and pages. In this way writing is the dam breaking, opening up the passageway for all my thoughts to come out faster and faster. Once I finally start, it's hard to stop. As it happens when a dam breaks, the results can sometimes be disastrous at first, but with a little work, they can turn into something beautiful, like writing.
