R.I.P. Page a Week Plan
A ramble
by Chris Hibbard
In January of this year, with great gusto and enthusiasm, I publicly declared via a blog posting my renewed intention of using this site more effectively – thereby also keeping the creative juices flowing.
To quote directly, I proclaimed that I would “shackle myself to imagination and write something new, at least one page long, at least once a week.”
Sadly, I must admit that I have unfortunately failed in this small goal. Inspiration, that subtle muse – that mischievous mistress – seems to come and go in spurts. While on most days she is like small waves gently lapping upon a beach, these waves occasionally get substantial or even huge – when the winds are blowing appropriately.
While I regret to inform you that my page a week plan was unsuccessful, there is a bright side. (I am an optimist by nature.)
I have added tons of great poetry, written some interesting fiction and non-fiction pieces, and utilized this blog more than I did last year. To this, I say, “Here’s to small victories.”
Thanks for reading. There is always more to come.
Sincerely,
Chris Hibbard
