THINGS I FORGOT TO REMEMBER

I have a mentor, teacher and dear friend who counsels me on my writing.

As you know I have been having trouble putting together a sentence -- let alone an entire story.

Today on my walk I remembered the sage words of my friend: "Your first draft is your CLAY. Write, make your clay then through editing and revision you craft your story."

This is where I walk. This is where I clear my mind and think. How could I have forgotten the words of my mentor?

Today I am making clay. I may still be making it tomorrow, but eventually I will have something solid to mold.

How cool is that!
