It’s the same problem I always seem to have.
I can’t pull the pieces
the words
the phrases
even the multiple formed paragraphs
together
into anything usable
or interesting
into something worth reading
into something that’s actually
something
and not just a big web of
somethings.
I have hundreds of pages
of starts
that don’t go anywhere.
Much of my art is the same way.
There’s something there (I think)
possibly even
something good
or that at least has potential –
if I could just get it to go there.
My boss told me
I should get an editor.
Huh.
That’s what I do
almost every day
for other people.
Maybe I need
that extra pair of trusted eyes
that can coach me
help me work through it
help me get there
help me actually make something
out of my huge mess
of incomplete
unfinished somethings.
