Life happens, and that's okay.

Nothing written since my last post-- a combination of too much real life going on and the stories just not doing the things that I want.

Kay Ryan had something nice to say about being blocked, though, in "Bad Day" from The Best of It.

Not every day
is a good day
for the elfin tailor.
Some days
the stolen cloth
reveals what it
was made for:
a handsome weskit
or the jerkin
or an elfin sailor.
Other days
the tailor
sees a jacket
in his mind
and sets about
to find the fabric.
But some days
neither the idea
nor the material
presents itself;
and these are
the hard days
for the tailor elf.
