Last night was one of those nights. You know the kind. Your fingers itch, your mind races and you long to put words to paper. But for some reason nothing worked out. My writing stuttered all night, each new idea dying out just after conception. It was terribly frustrating and not just because I felt impotent. Some of these ideas were really interesting!
- “The Littlest Thief” – An epic ballad of a young girl from New Jersey and her quest that turned her into a camel thief.
- A series of limericks that mocked cable news pundits.
- “Foster!” – An opera about people who give temporary homes to wild animals.
- “The Telltale Pea” – Dramatic retelling of the DVD remote that got lost under my mattress.
- Short fiction piece with the prompt “Don’t you wear those on your feet?”
- An essay on the importance of bread choices in sandwich making.
- “Hammering Bones” – A love poem about pianos (or possibly a skeleton)
Okay, I said they were interesting…I didn’t say they were good.
