Back in the habit

Yesterday I wrote a 933-word prose piece about a married, unsuccessful, g&t-drinking, male writer. What do I do with it now? It’s definitely not done and I need to keep working, but I’m having trouble figuring out what it should be — a novel, a screenplay, a short story? It doesn’t matter at this point because it’s nowhere near done. But I realize that I’m as much a headcase about my writing as I am everything else in my life. Trying to think ten steps ahead and figure out what something is or should be before it’s even really started. My concern is that being unable to pin down this piece soon will keep me from continuing it. I hope that’s not the case. I think I actually like this piece so far.

Tiaras, cheers, clinking glasses,
Flickering candles and camera flashes
Swirling drinks for the tottering parade
Of at least a dozen revelers with joining on the way
All there to dance and drink and feast and laugh
Arm in arm, cheek to cheek
Celebrate and sing
Raise a glass in toast
Each year is like the first

I love love love Salvador Dalí. My first (of three) visit to Spain 9 years ago, I purchased from El Museo del Prado a book on his works, entirely in Spanish. Anything that combines Dalí and typeface is a winner in my book!

Enduring nature of stamps

I think this is incredible. Why bother wasting money on cards all the time, when you have a stamp that can make cards for every occasion? I could see many people getting a big miffed after receiving one of these cards, but look at it this way:  it’s completely personalized for YOU. I want one..!The all-purpose card stamp
