Brainstorming
“Yo! You home?”
I looked up as Robbie stepped into the kitchen. “Do you ever knock?”
He smiled. “I’ll knock when you lock your front door.”
I blinked. “Fair enough. Good timing, though.”
“What’s up?”
“I’m starting my own business, and I need help choosing a name. I can’t come up with anything I like, so I figured I’d get another opinion.”
“Sure. What kind of business?” He sat down beside me.
“Martial arts supplies. Now, the first one I thought of was…”
“Nah. No good.”
I looked at him. “But I…”
“Keep going.”
“Well, then I thought…”
“Nope. Sucks.”
“How about…”
“Already taken.”
“What about…”
“Isn’t that copyrighted?”
“Can I finish a single sentence?” I asked, getting very frustrated.
“Sure.” He smirked. “Once you come up with something that doesn’t totally suck.”
My head started to hurt. “Well, if I don’t tell you my ideas, how…”
“You wrote them down. I read them while you told me what kind of business it was.”
I hate speed readers. Something told me this would be a long day.
