Every day, I teach myself to write
All over again.
First, the alphabet.
The A's and B's and C's
Basic grammar: nouns and verbs and sentences,
and commas,
and periods.
Once I've graduated elementary,
it's on to middle school, high school,
that one ill-fated semester of college.
So many years of study to answer one question:
What is a story, and how do I write one?
