A Cautionary Tale

“Hey, Eric,” the responsible voice in your head says, “You have the whole day ahead of you. Why not write a story first thing, so it’s out of the way.”

“Nah,” you say, “I still got time.”

A little later the voice says, “It’s your lunch break, but you could squeeze in a story. They’re only 101 words long.”

“I’d rather eat,” you say, “and watch clips of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Hulu.”

Several days later the voice says, “Are you ever going to actually post a story?”

“You can’t rush genius, voice-in-my-head!” you say refreshing Twitter yet again.
