trebuchet
first off let me just say, I began by choosing a font
this time not for what it might look like, but for the name of it
let's see if it fits!
last year, I was set to be an author full time
I had a handful of stories and poems I was working on
I had done the November 50,000 word challenge
I had the rough draft of my next book
I had just published my first children's book
and then...
I was once again asked to run for office in our county as Public Administrator
and I won
(is a slingshot a trebuchet?)
because of that, I now work more than full-time at a fairly intense job
and write... almost never
no time, no brain power left at the end of a day
this past November I made a few attempts
but I could never keep a story going between calls from facilities and wards and support staff
still, I have things to say, stories to tell
I just don't want to chuck them at you willy nilly with no precision
ah, trebuchet, there it is!
I want to share
sharing is best in close proximity
the thing I am finding difficult is the very thing I used to do with ease
draw you in, close, evoke emotion
It's the difference between handing off a lovely pie, and chucking pumpkins!
which, by the way, is an excellent use of a trebuchet!
