“Come in, take
your coat off, stay awhile.”

Continued to
write today but also started to work on a little art project. You
know those little clear glass marbles with a flat bottom? Thought those
side to side with little to no space in between them could make an
interesting effect if laid over a picture so I'm making a collage to
distort with the marbles.
Jumping Onto
The Page
“Are you
ready to jump?”
“No. I don't
want to leave.”
“We can't
stay in her mind forever.”
“But here I
keep changing. Alive. Once I'm on the page I'll be words. I won't
change.”
“But on the
page you'll exist.”
“Until I get
replaced by something better.”
“But that's a
risk you'll have to take. And isn't that something for the greater
good?”
“Why should I
care?”
“Well you
should care for her.”
“The writer?
No.”
“But she
creates us. All writers create us.”
“Doesn't mean
I have to pay them back.”
“It's what we
have to do.”
“No. I won't
go on the page. The page can stay blank forever for all I care.”
“We can't let
that happen. Less of us will be born that way.”
“I can't! I
won't!”
“You need to.
You have to. You won't do it alone. I'll jump at the exact time you
do okay?”
“You will?
You promise me? I'll do it if you go with me. I can't do it alone.”
“I promise.
C'mon, let's go.”
“Okay.”
