Today's small victories

Lilli wrote me regarding her answer to my poll, "What I selected today will likely be different when I'm in a different mood, lol. I selected the one I did because it immediately created a scene in my head, a snapshot. I might have to write something too!"

Now... that's a useful response! Everyone may be different but if I can see a story revealing itself before me I have to dream or write it.

I daydream a lot.

Today's small victories:

It's a 70 pleasant degrees at 10:47. I don't want to go out because I have too much to do but I should.

New-to-me words: democide, democracide, doomscrolling

The cat analogy at the end is spot on.

I write poems to Zmitri. I have a particular person in mind. It's basically a cosmic love affair with all the predictable ups and downs.

At times his face melts into others I have met along life's journey, but one face will get me going every time. I have so much I want to share with him. But time and a healthy distance get in the way. It provides the friction necessary for my writings to move forward in the real world and not just be dreams floating in the ether never to cover up the horror of the blank page.

I'm writing serenades. Every sunset is the same sun but the view is never the same. I think of Zmitri and write to him as if he were here.

It just dawned on me that maybe I'm confusing Muse with Talisman... but the results are similar and as long as it works I'm satisfied.
