Twitchy...

The librarians at the local branch I go to always look at me funny when I go on another reading bender. The multiple visits in a short time, the bulging bag I drag to the counter, the long time spent reading cover blurbs, the dirty looks I give the other patrons who don't know proper library etiquette and therefore don't *gasp* speak in hushed tones. Those are all the signs that I've gone off the deep end again. Of course, I have help at the holidays when I have time off and a wonderful seestor who buys me books for Christmas!

So the reading begins and then the ideas flow and then I get twitchy to write. Then the doubt about my writing ability follows. Then another trip to the library and more twitches.

Alas the librarians don't know any of this. They just continue to look at me funny and wonder when they will see me again. Tomorrow, next week, or next month.

Wise words for more than writers

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone
can start from now and make a brand new ending.
