I've set somewhat arbitrary deadlines (upcoming journal submission periods ending, contests postmark dates approaching, etc.)
And so, today's task is to write. Something eloquent, and perhaps purposeful. To gather my pile of letters and divide them into words, then line them up, over and over until something appears. A picture, perhaps. Like one of those magic images that only comes into focus when blurred. I'm staring at this page, and waiting for something brilliant to appear.
Coffee has been drunk. Children dropped off with Memere. All assignments, revisions, lesson plans - everything, sealed, stamped, sent. Nothing left to do go to the place where it all begins: My fingers on a keyboard.
Now...any plot suggestions for me?
