Writing Riptide

The placid word spectrum slithers over the rocky shore. Swirling, beyond the demure soothing thoughts and meanings. Ramped up and out of control sucking their life from confined corners to erupt across the paper. Exhausted from fighting the riptide of emotions destined to swallow the blank pages. Words flung hither and yon in a dangerous exposé of thoughts, outlines, and characters. Fragments of chapters left behind to expose the storyline. Each day is like the one before it. Ensconced in a dream of writing a best seller. Depositing the words into the ocean of editors, publishers, and finally readers.
