I feel macho
I feel studly
But I’m just a
pile of ugly

And how many of us are working from home when we’re writing, composing, painting?
Good tips there.
Tell the story that needs to be told, in the way it needs to be told, to the length it needs to be told.
Don’t poison a story by insisting it must be an apple when it’s really an orange.
Don’t stunt a story by forcing it beyond its natural growth nor by forcing it to grow in a box too small.
“Genres” and “standard story lenghs” are publisher’s artefacts, not part of storytelling.
Breakthroughs don’t come through abiding by conventions and working in boxes.
And the rail looms
a Frankenstein lurking
over everything yanking
feet from under us wanking
its way along dumping
wasted lumps into an
apocalyptic
revelation
sea.
The beast arises.
And the rail ends.

P.S. And happy birthday to Dancing Treefrog blog!
I wish I was
a one-eyed man,
for then I would be
king.

Now That You’ve Gone
The rest of me is dead,

How do you spend Christmas?
Someone please tell me.
Tried to pay the heating bill with Christmas
but they cut me off anyway.
Tried to pay the rent with it
but landlord just threw me out.
So someone please tell me:
How do you spend Christmas?
