An Aside: Bobbi Icons

It's official. I pretty much hate the new version of Corel Photopaint I had to use instead of my old one. It doesn't understand the simple concept of create object from mask and save as JPG instead of export. These two things alone are enough to make it hard to work with. Well, I'll figure it out and on my 80% back up to speed efforts (okay, more like 70%), have some Bobbi.

On the Matter of My Muse, or Writing is Promiscuous

The inside of my head is screaming with stories.

Shutting them up to quiet the floodgates, to open the pen to one and only one, shuts out all the voices, and I whimper as I wonder how many will flood back in if I open the door just the tiniest crack.

I open it. The first one in gets written. It may not be yours. It may not be due. It may not be the story I wanted to write. But it’s the one I can take in without greeting all its brothers and sisters and relatives with open arms.
