After a long dry spell I just wrote a short story
I used to write poetry, occasionally short stories. I hadn't felt like writing for a long time after my husband passed away. I keep a dream journal, but don't write in that unless the dream details stick with me while the coffee is brewing. I sorted out my poetry and other writing last fall, and realized I hadn't written anything for a long time, wondered if I was done.
I got an idea this week, and thought about it all week. My husband's birthday is tomorrow, and I thought if I were going to write this idea into a story, I wanted to do it today. I think it worked out. At least there is a beginning, a middle and an end, and I think it sticks to the point.
I don't know if I'll share the story, but I'm glad I got it written.

appreciate your support 
but not today. I posted here once before about writing. Today, it is about writing, not about what I wrote. If that makes any sense. 
i haven't written a poem for so long i'm afraid the well is dry. i save letters and book reviews that i write these days, because it's all i write anymore.
maybe there's hope for me yet. Enjoy your accomplishment!
tomorrow: 
You just never when what's in the well
Congratulations! My muse is on sabbatical. Or maybe she's just social distancing.
