Damn you, blank page
for I am supposed to write
for my make-it-yourself book club
where we write the books we want to read.
Betty
my main character
doesn't have enough emotional depth.
What to do?
By design
she is both shallow
and deep
and therein lies her struggle.
Do I attack this challenge?
Instead, I scroll through Facebook
cyberstalking friends old and new
eating Moose Munch from Harry & David
that I bought on clearance at World Market
last week.
Damn you, blank page.
This blog is about the little and big thoughts that pop into my head. I once read that when Flannery O'Connor walked into a bookstore, she would want to edit her published works with a red pen. In the digital world, we have the luxury of tweaking things up after we've hit the publish button. I can be a perfectionist/procrastinator, where waiting for the ideal means little gets done. Here I will share what is not--and likely will never be--perfect.
