My laptop's hard drive fried... again. I had recently backed up, so I wasn't too devastated, but I'm missing a few things that I just can't let myself dwell on... or it'll make me scream, especially since summer hours are slipping into the past. I don't know if I can rewrite those pieces at this point.
I was sans this appendage for two whole days. I had phantom limb syndrome.
It's like when the electricity goes out, but each time you walk into a room, you switch on the light. I tried to write on the desktop, but I couldn't. I needed my particular spaces and nooks.

Anyway...
I miss fiction this summer. I've been reading so many expository texts. I just found this clip from one of my favorite authors:

Stand on the top of a cliff, and jump off, and build your wings on the way down. 

Love what you do, and do what you love.     -Ray Bradbury
