You’ve got a great idea for a book
First you celebrate
Sketch out an outline
Sounds good-dive in!
Going great. Ride the wave.
Going’s getting heavy. Paddle doggedly.
Think about it for a while
Eye it suspiciously.
Sidestep around it a bit.
If you’re really stuck, sleep on it.
But eventually
You’re going to have to make like a kangaroo.
Kangaroos can only go forward. They can’t go backwards.
Love the way you brought a writerly theme to your photos, Karleen! And made sense.
Thanks, Cheryl. Wandering the house at 2 a.m., unable to sleep, is sometimes productive.
I hear you.
Sometimes I can jot down manuscript notes in the middle of the night. Other times…not so much.
