fertility

Snippets of converstations. Writing prompts. Half-finished poems. Book outlines. Amassed on sticky notes. Napkins. Torn off corners of church bulletins, school papers, scraps off the floor of the car. Entire notebooks, one-word reminders. I spent part of my weekend sorting these bits and pieces of paper into an organized format. At this point, I could take an idea a day and never write them all, and that doesn't even take into account their computerized counterparts stored in files on my hard drive. It is half exciting, half depressing. What if I can't bring life to it all?
