Over the course of this month I have deleted far too many posts before they could become entries. I find myself not only editing my novel, but revising my thoughts before they can be set down in what passes for digital stone here at WordPress.

I’ll be at work, or writing, or running or…like now: sitting at a laundromat staring at the timer on my dryer.
