Inspiration!

It took extreme measures (Crayola Bathtub Crayons), but I think I'm finally getting my poetry-writing voice back again. There's certainly something to be said about the child-like act of writing on a wall with sticks of color and being able to erase so easily--- I don't think I've ever felt less pressure! Plus, it was fun. So now I've got a complete poem (my first in I don't know how long) that I need to copy from my bathtub... :) Hey---If this is what it takes to not only finish my thesis but feel more like myself again, I will be more than happy to do it.

I love this spontaneous creativity about you, Laura. I thought of this while in my own long bath tonight, but I'm not sure the property managers would appreciate the remnants of crayola on their walls next year. :)
