Nancy, I just scrolled down in my in-box to this November post I hadn't seen. It was waiting for me exactly today when I am totally frustrated rewriting/reinventing something for the fourth time. I appreciate your words of encouragement. This is in fact the process, and I like the idea of raising your hands. STOP it's done. I think, what I figured out today is that there's a reason I can't finish (that I am not clear on yet) and what I may need to do is STOP, give it up for now. Heretical! Maybe I can use components, the wonderful moments, in a future essay or poem. And turn now to other important projects on the line-up.

Isn't it amazing how things just find you sometimes when you need them? Best of luck with all your flops! 😊😂
