No write. All wrong.

Don’t you just love clever plays on words?

So I have done no writing in the past few days.  I did take about 10 minutes to finalize the script for Birdwatching from Mars Issue #2 but other than that, nothing.

Even my reading has been suffering.  Work has burned me out these last few weeks and my internal clock is trying to adjust to only 5 1/2 hours of sleep a night.  I have been stuck reading Bentley Little’s The Burning for about 3 weeks now.

Maybe I’ll do some writing today or tonight.  I think I finally know how the Oz story is going to end.  I also need to pick up the editing for Broken Skies and the re-release of Darklights.

Sorry folks, that’s all I’ve got.  Tell you what…due to the lackluster post today, I’ll share with you a poem I read recently that floored me.  It is from Mary Ruefle’s Indeed I Was Pleased With the World, titled “The Tenor of Your Yes”

***

If you were lonely

and you saw the earth

you’d think here is

the end of loneliness

and I have reached it by myself.


If you were sad

and you saw the kitchen

you’d think here is

the end of sadness

and they have prepared it for me.


Turner painted his own

sea monsters, but hired

someone else to do

“small animals.”

Apparently, he could do

a great sky, but not

rabbits.

Much like god at the end.

  1. I know how it can take weeks to finish a simple book. Trust me. Kids and life in general will do that. I liked that poem. It spoke to me. Reminded me of a mature Shel Silverstein.

  2. God also fekked up writers, we don’t work properly. :)

    Thank god, someone who’s reading as slow as me. I’ve been reading Madapple for 2 weeks and I’m only half way through.

  3. Cheers for No Write. It seems to be the summer of no write.

  4. I liked that poem alot. I’ve been reading The Stand since freaking April.
