Pen-ups

Well, the real purpose of this blog is to turn this writer of sorts into a great writer...which means there will be plenty of literary excercises. The sad things is, writers accrue as much flab as the ordinary person, and not just in the winter. It happens anytime they think amazing thoughts and decide not to write them down. As the would-be gym bum starts out at a slow languid pace, most of these exercises will be rough drafts. And just as the weight room jock slims down to the muscular frame hiding underneath, I will come back later on and edit them. Let's just say I'm in good need of some pen-ups. Fifteen. Maybe forty. Maybe I should just try for one.
