I'm finding it very difficult to get my thoughts in order for a short story. Where do people come up with ideas? Maybe I'm just having an off day, but I can't seem to get it together. I've gone through half a dozen ways of getting to the end of my story and can't pick one that I like the most. I've read hundreds of short stories in my life and now that I'm in Germany, away from all my books, I can't even look at them to get an idea for how they're laid out. I'm not going to give up though. Some piece of fiction will be written so help me. I'm afraid this is all I have for today.
On second thought, it's possible my lethargy, apathy or whatever else my block may be is derived from a feeling of homesickness. The past couple days have been a little more difficult than normal. Oh yes. I am homesick every stinking day. I'm excited to be abroad, yes, but am most definitely thinking of the Pacific Northwest all the time. I guess we'll see what things are like tomorrow.
