a blank page
a blank book
and a blank mind
how to write a new novel
without a single idea
the white screen seems to stare back
as if it were the novelist
and she the specimen under scrutiny
until slowly
after several possible plots
and much cerebral crossing out
she licks her metaphorical pen
and begins to write:
"He didn't notice the blade
until it was too late..."

A perfect opening and banishment to the white screen. I'm intrigued already.
Thank you Aims - I've started a new novel, of course.
*blinks* I love it. :)
