I'm not sleeping. Or not much.

It's days now.  Nature's Xanax?

I keep adding to the pcardpoesy queue, though.  Rate > 1/day.

Sharpie makes a refillable fine point:

This cheapie by Pilot is pretty good, once you get the ink t' flowing, which in my case wasn't easy.

Something about lack of sleep.  What.  Hmm.  I wrote a villanelle in college called "Insomnia."  Right now I recall only "The night and I suspend ourselves along" and that it ended with "dawn" which it took to rhyme with "along" I think only I don't really remember that part for sure.

What pen is the second one? I used to use a Pilot pen with that kind of tip but they looked nothing like that.

I love those Pilot cheapies. Serviceable enough, and not the Absolute End of the World if they get clogged or bent.

One of the few items on my creative bucket list is to write a villanelle. In some ways I know that's absurd, as I could just force myself to sit down and write an absolutely awful one to the rules and technically be done with it, but there's a point of pride in writing one worth sharing. Somehow I need to get to point A, though, in order to practice and proceed and go from there as if this is just a thing that people can do, not just Dylan Thomas and Sylvia Plath. This helps. Thank you.

I'd like to read your villanelle, if & when. Will you share?

If I ever get past the absolute first terrible try and keep writing, I will definitely share! And thank you for the encouragement :)

I hope the lack of sleep isn't being distressing, and hey, pens! I love pens!
