This month has been, essentially, a dry month for writing. Either I haven’t felt inspired or I haven’t had the time…but it seems every now and then this happens, and it passes. I wouldn’t define it as writers block because, given an idea, I can write. It’s just that initial ideas seem to…fizzle.
With that, I think my goals for April (as far as writing goes) will include the following:
1. Write some fanfiction. It’s a great way to keep writing even when ideas seem unsubstantial on their own.
2. Finish my 12th (and final) assignment for Long Ridge. Within the next few days I’d like to write both versions of the story (since I don’t know which ending I like best) and that gives me the first week of April to edit and refine it, as well as to write the query letter.
3. Get back to writing a poem a day, whether it’s haiku or any other poem. With the book club, it seems I’m only getting to go to one poetry group meeting per month…so I think it’s important to keep exercising in poetry. I know April is a few days a way still, but why not start now? Here’s a poem, off the cuff:
Hands
Sweep across the curling base
Rest upon the obtuse
Rotate on a central fulcrum
Measured in constant consistency
Yet always relative
Timed hands care not
For the subjective
