The Sand in the Hourglass

Last month, I prepared a list of five things to complete by month's end:

1. Write flash fiction story
2. Write poem on random theme - lavender
3. Create writing submission calendar for May & June
4. Edit 3 poems
5. Translate 1 poem into Spanish

I only completed two things on the list, but I didn't feel underaccomplished, as I usually would. Instead, I figured that I'd just continue with the list of 5 this month and see what results:

1. Write flash fiction story
2. Write poem on random theme - hospital
3. Create writing submission calendar for June & July
4. Edit 3 poems
5. Translate 1 poem into Spanish

To be fair, I'll attend Story Salon next week and will tell a story, so the first one is done. I am also battling with my pending re-location and the when of my re-location. It's one of the reasons why I'm not as progressive with my writing.

The translation may not be completed this month, because I will either be focusing on moving, working or both and translating will definitely require more brain power than I'll have methinks. I chose another random theme based on what popped into my mind. Hmm, I'm curious as to what I'll have by month-end.

Thanks to several websites (links on the left) I visit regularly, the submission calendar will not be difficult. Whether I'll be able to complete task # 4 in time to submit is another question.

I had a good chat with a friend about creativity and productivity, etc. I'm stuck in limbo and cannot seem to find clarity. It's weird, but hopefully there'll be some resolution in the next few days.

A long corridor awaits the crying and the dying.
Pale walls, floors mirror faces
of reality for moments without end.
And then,
hues clash in a mad dash
offering questions and answers in the same breath.
Bells and whistles signal time to switch and ditch
graven faces and dour places.
Step into the sun
when the day is done.
Leave the sirens behind.

That's what wove its way in between thoughts of doubt and weekend laissez-faire. I edited it slightly as I typed, but I'll return to another time for a quick read-through.

My "currently listening" selection soothes me, because the harmonies were playful, melancholic and daring.

Peace,

Moi
