Idea Dialog

September 19, 2008. By Peter Lloyd

Left Brain: Hey! Right Brain! Wake up. We've got to write another Right Brain Workout.

Right Brain: Give it a rest, will ya?

Left Brain: Come on, you've got no reason to be so grumpy.

Right Brain: Reason? What's that?

Left Brain: You are so difficult to deal with sometimes.

Right Brain: No, I'm not.

Left Brain: I can never get you do what I want.

Right Brain: That's because you're always trying to control me.

Left Brain: But I need an idea. Now! You know I can't write without you.

Right Brain: You interrupted a wonderful daydream.

Left Brain: How am I supposed to get anything done with a better half like you?

Right Brain: What's to get done? Life is a process, not a product.

Left Brain: That's easy for you to say, up in there clouds, no contact with reality. But I have to write a Workout.

Right Brain: You want ideas, this is where they come from.

Left Brain: So give me an idea.

Right Brain: Are you listening?

Left Brain: Yes.

Right Brain: Promise to take good care of it?

Left Brain: Promise.

Right Brain: Promise to defend it against all your left-brain friends?

Left Brain: Promise.

Right Brain: Promise never to compromise it?

Left Brain: What do you want from me?

Right Brain: What do you think?

Left Brain: I have no idea.

Right Brain: Yes, you do. I just gave you one.

Left Brain: What?

Right Brain: You weren't writing all this down?

Left Brain: Come on. Talking to yourself is bad enough, but writing it down, that's...

Right Brain: That's what?

Left Brain: ... not a bad idea!

Right Brain: It's a great idea.
