thumbnail coutesy of…. me!!!!

Funny thing this writing stuff aint it? I mean, seriously, funny stuff.

I met someone once who told me writing is like a___________

He was right.

Have I filled in the blank?

HELL NO!

Him (a different person than above because, depth?): You like this writing stuff? You're a karate instructor, where the hell do you get the time?

Me (same person as above because, author): I just make the time. Late at night, early morning, lunch breaks, whenever the hell I can.

Him: You’re not a writer you're a fighter.

Me: You’re (dare I? Ok, brace yourselves) a poet and you didn’t know it.

(Sorry, I’m a dad, it is what it is. You made it this far)

Him: Ugh…

Me: ( all-knowing nod)… he..he..he..

The embarrassing moment of writing is when you write from the heart and no one gets it, like, well, when you really want to explain an emotional concept but the words can’t reflect what you really want to say. Watching my father die was the lowest, hardest, darkest…. hmmmm…… uhm….. thing I have… uh….ever done. Because it was. Then you forget to edit the thoughts, hit…
