So Serious Saturday #21

Fiction needs a basis in reality. Exercising non-fiction muscles once in a while benefits an active imagination, channeling creative energies as it focuses on a subject. So Serious Saturdays will be an active place for critical essays or writing about reality in the context of real events - even when it is not written on Saturdays.

Fearing Failure

     I've done it.

     Or not done it, depending on your viewpoint. I've failed my mission for this blog; namely, to post something most days. There are a hundred excuses I've tried out, including the fact that this September is hot, there was too much to do, work was taking up my time, family was taking up my time...

    I guess I'm just looking for something else to blame it on, so that I don't have to claim the failure as entirely my own. However, I am afraid what would happen if I owned that failure.

streaks in the canvas
the painter expressed
battered by sadness.
