Novel in progress, two years after initial conception: 33,854 words, less than one-third completed
Short story number one, nine months after initial conception: 11,553 words, over four-fifths completed.
Short story number two, two weeks after initial conception: 1,472 words, the red-headed stepchild of the bunch. Impossible to fractionally calculate how far this one is from completion.
Movie review, two days after initial conception: 2,267 words, not even close to completion.
Leave the house to gather provisions: chocolate milk and sweetened tea. Watch a crow dive down into the wet, shinny streets, chasing a walnut that’s fallen from his/her grasp into the middle of an intersection. The crow spears his/her prize on his/her beak and lifts off, alighting on top of a streetlamp from which the nut will surely fall again.
I wish him/her, “Good luck, yo. That looks like a tough nut to crack.”
The crow stares down at me with its oil colored eyes and does not acknowledge my pun.
Return home, type out the above, and get back to the Work.
