Shawshank

The world is your oyster

But you don’t like the 

Slimy, salty, snotty texture

Suck it up!

It could be worse

All you have to do is

Write some verse

You don’t even need

To make it rhyme

Even though you did

Just a minute ago

See, you did it again

Without even trying

Get busy living or

Get busy dying

Thoughts

I’ve been listening to a lot of Stephen King interviews recently. He has some interesting views on writing and I like the way that he writes everyday. I’ve got a long way to go before I hit the 2000 words a day but it’s something to aim for isn’t it? It’s good to have a goal.

The Shawshank Redemption is still listed as one of the greatest films of all time. I should read the short story.

Here’s my old cat. She didn’t want to practice but was glad that she did.
