Jammed with Flat Rabbit. Mick didn’t show, but that’s understandable; he’s between houses at the moment and has a busy schedule. We had fun anyway, and my son played bass with us on a couple of songs. I started learning an original song by Brad and John called “How Can There Be Peace.”

“The Saint and the Cynic”
Began third revision of “The Saint and the Cynic,” my story about a fictional encounter between St. Francis and Diogenes. Ugh. Either I’ve become a better writer since I revised it a couple of years ago, or the story just never was any good. The language is too stilted, the story has POV problems, the list goes on. I’m hoping to have this revised by next Thursday to submit it to the Tem writing group, and it’s going to take a lot of work to get it there.
It’s amazing how quickly inspiration withers away. (see “Inspirational Inadequacy,” in the Original Poetry section.)
In the penumbra of greatness
Critiqued one story for Writer’s Circle critique group, attended said group in the evening. Was inspired by the news that one of our members recently had a story accepted by F&SF!

Surly
Didn’t do a damn thing that related to creativity. And I’m okay with that. Are you?
