My friend steve Abbott was one of the first writers I met when I was first starting, He didn't call it a free write. What he called it was 'the vomit phase,' because 'it's like throwing up, it's better to get it all out of your system, but it's not something other people are going to want to look at."
Steve's a weird guy.
You should introduce him to Rhonda. ;-)
Just a couple days ago I said this:
"I mean, sometimes you have to throw up. It's natural. And you feel better afterward. But for god's sake, you don't throw a house party to have everyone from the hood come over and look at the floaters in your toilet."
Just spit out my drink LOL...
You're mixing your metaphors here. "Floaters" is generally accepted as a term for poop that floats, not vomit.
It’s also a term for those little black spots in your vision that won’t go away, usually an indication of ocular disease. Either way, nothing desirable. Oh… And it’s also a term for decomposing bodies that rise from the bottom of lakes, rivers, and oceans.
Also bird decoys and fun pool toys. I guess "floaters" is just one of those words.
