I want to write a poem,
I used to write quite well,
but since I stopped, I've kind of flopped,
my writing stinks like hell!
Seriously? I can write rhyming poem *forms* all day long - limericks, sonnets (italian/english), trochees, spondees, amphibrachic/anapestic, double-dactyl, iambic tetrameter/pentameter... (here's a good page to explain it all...) Thing is, it's been harder and harder to find inspiration in recent months. I've fallen to imagining emotions, or situations, and while it can make for pleasant reading, I feel like it doesn't have any depth. Then again, some of the poems I've gotten compliments on, that people have thought were deep, meaningful pieces to me, were nothing more than mere exercises, so what do I know!?
I've actually tried my hand at a couple of short stories, and got a decent start to them, but again, once I stopped writing, I haven't been able to get back to them. I think I might pull one back out, refresh it, and try to finish what might be called a "chapter". Sixweasels, you're a writer - would you mind reading it if I sent it to you? I could use another perspective from someone who actually knows what they're doing when it comes to writing. If it pans out alright, maybe I'll even consider posting it here!? Not sure if I can, as it might give too much away, but I'll think about it (as long as it's good enough!).
I need sad/melancholy/wistful/nostalgic themes upon which to write - anyone care to suggest a few? If one strikes me, I'll write it up & post it here...
I should be getting a call from a friend of eileen's tonight. They are realtors, and she said they were super-friendly, and would love to talk with me about my current domicile issues, and various options on dealing with it. I hope there's a way I can just get out of it. It would still be worthwhile even if I had to pay extra, but I don't want to if I can at all avoid it.
Band practice tonight - the gig in July has been canceled for now, as things aren't coming together well enough. They still want to play out soon, but for now, I get a chance to further refine my repertoire, and that makes me a bit happy.
5k on Saturday - it's gonna suck, as am I. I'm imagining a big "FAIL". I also told my boss I'd be in to work that day, so I've got to come in afterward, for maybe 4 hrs. At least I'm on vacation after that...
