Man, oh man, is it hot out there.
I’m writing this post sitting in my yellow reading chair with my trusty little pink fan blowing straight at me. A strand of hair keeps fluttering over my face. I try to ignore it – the price one pays for a manufactured cooling breeze.
A tall glass of water, cool enough for condensation rivulets to race each other down its length, sits by my side. For fear of water damage, I move away all papers, including my list of what it is I need to do.
All lights have been turned off and my solar-fueled Tinker-Bell (I believe! I believe!) whose wings flap by way of power generated from light sits quietly in anticipation of a cooler, brighter day.
And I have a project that I’m working on. Not a huge one, but a few solid pages of writing. I should have been finished with it by now, instead I sit in this darkened corner, as still as my fairy, waiting for my creative wings to gather enough energy to move.
Stay cool ….it’s horrific where I am as well …..loving it ..Tim
I sat in my chair outside to soak up some sun today
The day will be coming soon where it will be intolerable though! Stay as cool as you can!
Very nice post thanks. I really enjoyed reading it very much. Have a great day.

…so says the LTWWTL chicken lady who offers insightful and inspirational words created in fits and starts of artistic collaboration between the magic forces of the Universe and herself while she sits in her yellow chair.
In the words of Andre Gide:
“When one has begun to write, the hardest thing is to be sincere. ESSENTIAL TO MULL OVER THAT IDEA and to define artistic sincerity. The word must never precede the idea. Or else, the word must always be necessitated by the idea. It must be irresistible and inevitable; and the same is true of the sentence, of the whole work of art. And for the artist’s whole life, for his vocation must be irresistible.”
So sit. And mull. And write when the ideas are irresistible and control the hand and the soul.
The rest of us will wait patiently. No hurry.
Laura,
You are way too kind.
Beautiful words on writing. Thanks.

Wow, it’s short but it has so much depth.
What a beautiful little story.
Thanks all for your comments. It’s still hot but between cool water and occasional beaks, I’ve almost gotten my project completed.

I feel ya Wendy! We hit 109 last Saturday and I didn’t want to move an inch. You can do it! Stay cool! -RGR
