We're back to #fridayflash for the month of September. You'll easily be able to tell what today's flash fiction piece was inspired from. *winks*
Blank
Page
The blank page mocks me. The cursor
blinks, blinks, blinks. What will I write today? The mind comes back with a tabula
rasa.
Perhaps I can make up a story about
the kitty cat from the calendar. The calico’s hopeful expression tugs on my
heartstrings. Does she desire to be petted? Or would she rather have a treat?
Oh, what does it matter.
The cursor blinks, blinks, blinks.
August is almost over, and the
deadlines overwhelm me. Edit this, format that, write this. Blog posts and
Facebook, and we mustn’t forget the three Ts: Twitter, Triberr, and Tumblr.
Maybe I could write about a writer on deadlines and getting buried in social
media. Eh, who am I kidding? That’s been done, right?
The cursor blinks, blinks, blinks.
I could use this flash fiction piece
to delve into my characters or their world, but they’ve all decided to be quiet
until I actually get to writing in their stories. They don’t want to color
outside the plotlines.
So I will sit and wait for the
cursor to stop blinking, blinking, blinking, so I can be writing, writing,
writing.
