Windup Toy

My writing is like a windup toy. Winding up a windup toy takes time, just like my writing. At first it takes a while for my thoughts to form together, but once I get started, I write until I am done. Also, my writing is all over the place. Messy. Unorganized. Like a windup toy spinning out of control. Most of the time I write in short sentences, like a windup toy's quick spurts of twitches.

I myself and like a windup toy. I can't sit still. My mind wanders all the time into the vast world of my imagination. Energy flows through my body. This is shown from my abundant energy and outgoing personality. As a windup toy spins around, it travels in all different directions, crashing into many objects. I am very clumsy, dropping books and crashing into many things throughout the day. All of these things might sound crazy, but that just makes my writing, along with myself, more like a windup toy.
