We gotta make a decision, we leave tonight or live and die this way...

So there I am listening to music and inspiration strikes whilst listening to Sarah McLachlan's Answer and I find myself reaching for my laptop and clicking on Word Doc....alas after the first few lines are written and deleted I realise it was a fluke.


But then I get a bbm from my bffl who read my blog and liked the stories but hated the non-fiction post i.e the first post and asked that I come out of the dark place...exaggerate much my love? Anyway I decide that just in case she's right and I am in a dark place which is preventing me from being productive it's time to snap out of it.


So I grab my laptop again and force myself to write...and the result, my next short piece. Caveat, its not fiction, its semi-fiction, Now Rome was not built in a day was it? Hopefully proper fiction writing will commence soon enough. It's about a very interesting man I met on a plane ride when I was in America in 2008.


Another caveat, its a very very short piece that has been through very little editing. I am posting it as I wrote it.
