start writing seriously, or even playfully...

Hmmm…...

my quota small,
whenever I get a few,
I use them all.

I never seem to
have enough
to say kudos
to all the funny
and worthy stuff
that 43 Thingers post
and say;
the things
that keep me coming back
day after day.

again today
promising the old cabinet
would look like new
when he was done
stripping and sanding down
years of aspiration
carefully put there
for display and sake-keeping
by my grandmother
and hers before her.

very slackly on this goal. Others too, yes, but I had really hoped to sustain the momentum on this one.

I’ve slowed down and have lost some of the enthusiasm and energy I managed to muster up for this project. Have been forcing myself to write something, anything, before going to bed each night, but of late have been waking up with pen and paper in hand and the lamp beaming in my face.

how do you sustain it? I wrote myself to sleep again last night and like a muscle being jolted back into action, small spasms of words and phrases and ideas are coming unbidden. The notebook now is close at hand.

After taking out your new membership at the gym you can keep it up for a week or even a month, but do you ever manage to keep it up long enough to be able to do the Ironman Triathalon?

Insomnia again last night. But instead of turning on the TV or getting out a book (John Banville’s The Sea), I whipped out my pen and notebook and wrote myself to sleep. A start.
