Desert island

[dampscribbler]

 You know that question: "If you were stuck on a desert island, what five books would you want to have with you?"

Tonight my answer is "five blank books, and a lot of pens."  I think I know everything (or nearly everything) I need to know to write the books I want to read.  The question now is, at what point will I start taking myself seriously enough to write one?

No time like the present.

It would seem that way, but something is still missing. Maybe just time, maybe something else. I really do think I'm getting there, though.

Word.

And then more words. I've been told that's how it works, but I can't provide firsthand evidence of that.

I'm going to start "morning pages" again. Because after I've written some gibberish, I'm already there with a pen and paper so what's so hard about writing a chapter? Or, maybe a short story, or perhaps flash fiction. Maybe haiku. Or one really solid adjective.

One really solid adjective. Love it!

I used to really like my morning pages, but man mornings are brutal right now, no room to add anything else. Maybe in summer.
