This is where I start crying…
I thought I should resume work on my second book which was in selection and editing phase simultaneously…at least the last time I checked…
But now, when I opened it after half of an eternity, I don’t even know what I’m looking at.
Is this my manuscript?
like…what happened?
And I found 2 versions of it.
Both with same name and same overall content, BUT if there are some edits I won’t be able to spot them. Until I try to match them word by word..which just..UUGGHHHHHH
So I will have to randomly choose one and start working on it.
Wish I listened to my friends when they kept reminding me to work on it.
And by the looks of it I will have to write a few new poems to balance out categories.
Can you guess which subject I have least poetry on? Love…surprise ha.
Gosh my life..
I thought im 1% better today, I ordered brownies, did some skin care and I was all set to use my creative juices, but the juicer is broken.
I might listen to some spoken poetry or watch some poetic movie (if that’s a things) or will just try to find inspiration. Maybe will read something. idk.
I think I shouldn’t pause the book for very long, then shit like this happens.
Will try to finish this whole thing in one go this time.
With snacks, tiniest quiche on the planet, suppliments, water, thermometer, disinfectant wipes, plates and spoons and all sorts of stationary scattered around me, I think I’m in perfect environment to write.
Wish me luck guys.

That reminds me of the story I started and need to work on. Although, right now is not a good time. It’s not my Juicer, it’s my whole body that’s clogged.

I think a read through of Ghalib, Amir and Parween Shakir with get the juicer going. All the best. The date of the last update on your edits may give you a clue which one was the one you were working on last.

Uh… being mindful of the theatrical world’s wisdom, i.e., wishing someone “good luck” invites the exact opposite (hence, the well known, “break a leg” idiom), I don’t want to jinx you. I’m not exactly sure what the literary world’s equivalent phrase would be, but the first thing that came to my so-called mind is: “sprain a typing finger”. Hey comment posters, anyone up to the task of topping that?

Nobody can top that! thanks for sharing your theatrical world’s wisdom.
And sorry for replying so late.

ON PROBLEMS
Our choicest plans
have fallen through,
our airiest castles
tumbled over,
because of lines
we neatly drew
and later neatly
stumbled over.
and
SMALL THINGS
& GREAT
He that lets
the small things bind him
leaves the great
undone behind him.
Take care. (And there is a way to compare the physical ms., but probably too late for that.)

Brownies should be the only thing you need. unfortunately when I have one, then I go back to the kitchen for another and get further distracted. I guess I should just bring the pan to my computer desk.
OK so, next time leave out the brownies.
Love the glasses on the manuscript. It should be a note card to send to friends. Donna
