Ink On Her Fingers

Not exactly. Not the point either.

I've begun to start writing again. Feels like pulling on an old, comfy sweater. The feeling of writing out a story has brought back some clarity I think I lost for a while. Its a good thing...I think.

I'm working on a piece called "The Dog Around The Corner". Its part of a workshop I signed up for about a month ago. Everyone participating is great, and it is a sight to see a bunch of writer using the same subject, but come up with completely different points-of-view. People play to their strengths.

Although I'm not sure what mine is. .

My biggest inspiration is a song by Ray LaMontagne - "Be Here Now". The song is one of the best I've heard in a long time. It captures the nervousness of my main character, Kelsey, an 7 year-old with some pretty nervous tendencies. Surprisingly, she reminds me of myself when I was that age. How personal history can come back and haunt people.

The thing I find most interesting about writing this, besides it delving into territory I haven't worked before, is that people have reviewed it. Stated in the introduction and the description is that its a workshop piece - i.e. not even close to being finished. Still, they felt the need to review and mark me down for the questionnaire I had listed as part of my assignment. There's something very odd, and slightly ironic.

I should have this finished in about a week. I'm intrigued on how this will pan out.
