Thoughts from Virginia Woolf

"It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power
which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after
a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one
becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an
impending shape keep one at it more than anything."
--Virginia Woolf

What Flavor Jelly Bean Are You?

sleep
snore

fight at 6:45 am, making sure I am awake. If I could teach one of them to make the coffee, then I'd have something...
