If the tire ran into the bush they would switch lines, which would be funnier

Just wait til we get to talking about a bicycle running into a pair of bushes
In the presence of a nervous teepee and a disconcerted yurt

'I'm two tired'
'I'm two bushed'
'I'm two tents'

I find it uplifting actually

Interesting. This gets at the main distinction between introversion and extroversion: whether one feels more or less energized by writing. Those who feel more energetic are extroversed, and those for whom it's draining and who need to stop writing to recharge are introversed.

Horrible opinion.

I'm mr. Uplifted. To confirm or perhaps not, I'm a natural extrovert who until recently was a mistake misanthropic and an introvert. When I was shutting myself away from life, writing was a chore. Now I scribble ideas down freely. And they're better than the laborous earlier ones.

I confess to being responsible for riffing on the puns in this thread. By way of making amends, let me suggest that being drained by writing could come from caring a great deal about quality and trying to get everything just right. This is what I tend to do and what often ends up limiting my writing. I try to just free write or to not edit while writing or pretend to 'write drunk', but it's hard to get the inner editor/superego to wait its turn.

I find when you try and sublimate your mood
through creative outlets, such as writing, you feel
much more tired. If you write it for fun, for the
sheer enjoyment of it, you won't have those same
emotional releases.
