Horror writers may benefit from the weirdness of this word…
Mastomenia
meaning
(brace yourself)
menstruation through the nipples.
(Or…next week on House.)
And speaking of House, here’s another thought to stir your neocortex. If you were in a TV show, are you comic relief, the star, co-star or (heaven forfend) an extra? House is obviously the star of House, but it’s more than just the name on the door. He’s the brilliant, crazy alpha.
Sure, we’re all stars of our own movies, but look around. Is this what being a star really looks like. Are you really the center of the plot or are things happening around you? Are you making stuff happen? Do things happen to you instead of you initiating the action? What role are you playing in your life? Is somebody else getting all the good lines? Is somebody else getting all the action?
If so, you need to stop reading this blog, fire your writer and get a new one. I don’t believe in God, but I do believe in heroes, and anyone can be a hero. All we’ve got is each other, so we need heroes. We need stars. We don’t need more underpaid extras following orders in the background and pretending they have conversations and lives and purpose.
What are you? Decide what you are. Then go be that, dammit.
This is the most inspiration you’ll ever find in what I write…but I really had to make up for laying mastomenia on you.
