So I am procrastinating because I don't want to work on this Frankenstein monster but work I must. So a finger today, a foot tomorrow. <br /><br />The older I get, the more I hate editing student drafts. They write like they've never read a paper, like they've never stopped to analyze the structure of each paper or identify the staples of the technical writing genre. <br /><br />As for fiction, I find that writing a drabble (a story under 100 words) really cheers me up and recharges me. There are often themed issues or comps that I write for (drabbles, longer flashes) which I also find inspiring. xykademiqzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306861394466282929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-85575570532013019082019-06-08T10:37:46.419-07:002019-06-08T10:37:46.419-07:00Oh, please join me in Ancient R&R Territory!
