I look up at the sky. It’s dark and threatening. I think where else would i be if I could just point myself there? And there I am. On the side of crystal clear blue waterfall pool. I’m young. Thin. Tan. Toned.
And I could actually care less about that. I am happy. I am ready to jump into the pool. My young psyche, lovely body, and relentless energy innocently taking me over. I jump. Elegant and frozen in time. I hit the water, plunge under into a cool, bottomless place. And then I know I am ready. I can swim back up to the place I want to be. I think there would be a sunstreaked sky at this point.

’scuse me miss but you are terribly wrong. i would give you a million stars over me in the writing department. I’m working on some stuff tho. Finding it hard to free associate online like I usually do. Thinking before I go to press a little these days. At least on the blog.

thank you M, and I hope you post the stuff you’re working on. I know what you mean about finding it harder to free associate these days. I’ve even contemplated re-opening Drunk Blonde…

Do it, E.
And you, Hendley. Get to work. Authors get to sleep in late and drink Chardonnay all day long. So get to it!
