Begging, this story,
brimming over
bursting out

I suck in,
hesitate
ending preset

message elusive
crushed beneath
weight of subjectivity.

  Thanks Betty – if only I could get out from underneath and finish the darn thing, lol. Hope you are well. I imagine it’s getting hotter where you are.

So you are really working on a novel? How courageous! Micropoems and flash fiction is about all my short attention span can handle. You go, girl.

    I did NaNoWriMo last year. Nearly killed me. I got 50,000 words of a very sloppy first draft that did not even finish the story. Novel writing isn’t my forte.

    It does require focus and commitment. I go in spurts.
