The princess and prince of opera sang for me last night.
I can go a little easier to my grave.

Not writing

Andrea,

Directionless writing is directly responsible for most of my own writing. I would be writing right now if I set aside time, like I used to, for directionless writing.

In writing, something is always better than nothing. Why am I doing nothing?

Even still, the rewards of writing . . . Whatever noise is at the end of the sentence, there is still too much silence.
