While it's true that I should have already been writing, i harvested four field yesterday without writing in the 1st.


And that was with Pizza.


Of course, that accomplishment came about because I wrote. I'm not exactly writing now am I?


Not at the pace that I could be.


And now I want to lie down, without having harvexted even a page of rows, which isn't two rows.


Ugh.


Really? All I could write in the 1st Quarter was 72 words?


Wow, that's really sad.


For me at least since I am on the quest to write a million words and need coming into today, If I write the same number of words a day to reach the 1,002,020 words, need to write 2720 words.


And the easiest way of doing that is to write 680 words a quarter.


That puts me behind.


So I, your goodly Practice failed in the first as Story and Poetry, who showed the heck up, were taking a well deserved break.


I'm sorry that I let you down


Practice oh Practice

I wake to this
The sad reality

Of your weak apology

For being weak

When the truth it is

You're pretty strong

Though you're not wrong

At being disappointed

In yourself

Know that I am coming

To slap you in the face

You're no disgrace


Aye it's ugly

The lowly 72

But stupid you

That's hardly the end

To our goodly strivings

Besides of that

We are here

Both Story and me

We got your back

As you've had ours

All this time 

So let this rhyme

Restore your hope

As we reach the heights

We need to reach


Practice oh Practice

I wake to this

And it irks me so

Because you know it's not the truth

It was bad indeed

But we're still good

So let us lift you up


Well shut my mouth Poetry! You told me and you're so right. I don't know why I was thinking what I was because look at what we did yesterday?


And what we've done the first three days of the week.


Hey Story. You're ready to go too?


Well, without further ado...


Only I got a feels bomb from the recent pathos and I need a moment.


Yes, I could well hit the button that says to unfollow, but I'm not ready for that as it feels like cxlosing a door that I don;t want to close just yet.


Of course the door has been closed on me and as I look to the sky, metaphorically, it's dark adn there's no light of chance that it will open again from the other side as pride over misunderstanding what was said has taken hold, my thought, so that ship has sailed.


And no, I don't care about the mix of metaphors because they are approriate for the mix of feelings.


Sigh.


Also, I swore as I saw the name that was lit up by her activity on one onf the sites where we both go.


Swear.
























We travelled through time again, Poetry, Story and myself that is.

 

And because of that travel, we never got back to me, so that I could close out the last quartyer ptroperly, which should be making me upset, but feeling as I feel, I'm okay with it.


Just as I'm feeling about how the first half of the day unfolded where we couldn't harvest enough words to even make it to the minimum harvest of a full field, so I'm going to say forget about the thought of a fourth straight four field harvest.


That is off the table and only the greatest of fools would dare to suggest otherwise. 


Besides, that's another 32 rows on Friday when we're going back to the Grocery store fo Pizza and Drink on the way back.


We ain't going to even try and I don't know why I've even kept it in my thoughts for as long as I have.


Because the challenge calls to you

It's what you want to do

Deep and down inside

That writer's pride

That made the want 

To strike but boldly out

And write a million words

In a single year

Not just once

Or even twice

But fifteen if

We can be so strong

For oh so long


Which sounds impossible

Especially to the doubters

Who scoff at your dream

And even think it weak

When it is anything but

Since the math's insane

And anyone far less bold'

Would throw up their hands and say

That's too hard for me

Let him be the one

To do waht can't be done


So don't say quit

Because that is shit

We're going to do it today

Just you wait and see

As Story and me

We're ready to write 

We're ready to write but hard enough


Really Poetry?


You think we can write 3109 words in just two quarters? With you still in the feels of the recent pathos between you and her, or with her, because it was droppped on our heads without no warning because of a simple misunderstanding that morphed into a poison between us whose only antidote is time and a want to tell pride to stow it.


No Practice, I'm not over that and neither are you, or have you forgotten this morning when the mere sight of the lit button at Instagram, which showed her being active was enough to leave you back in the feels like it just happened. So don;t be throwing that in my face because it works on you too.


It wasn't like it had just happened Poetry, because I didn't feel that bad, just bad enough to feel some feelings for a few minutes. Last week we were all feeling worse.


But I suppose you're right, I can't rag on you when it gets to me too.


Still, you're out of your mind to think we can write 78 of the days words in half the day.


Not even if you and Story were in the midst of the full feelings  could we write that many words in half the day.


How soon you forget Practice. We have the time and we have the will so stop we can't and let's focus on just doing it.


Good job Story, we're closing in on what we needed to write this quarter so the next one isn't stupidly hard, not that the approximate count of 1859 isn't impossible, it would just be 500 words easier if I had written hard in the first instead.


Must I remind you

Brother Practice

That we went over this

And we're doing fine

So forget the whine 

And just write

We've time enough tonight

To harvest a fourth

Though even three is great

So don't be worried

We're good but either way


Apparently you need to remind me Poetry. Thank you for that. You're right. We're doing well and we're going to write our way past the harvest of three fields at least.


What? The Stars and Avs are playing now?


Well, it makes sense as there's another Game 7 in Edmonton between the Canucks and Knights.


Ugh, the Avs have taken a lead, though it's still just the 1st, but the Stars have dimmed and the Avs look ready to bury them.


Bleargh.


Can I just stop writing for the rest of the day brothers?


I'm not feeling it anymore and I want a quarter off.


Are you cool with that?


You're the same as us

You get down

And don't wanna get up

But we're sure you will

So we say no

You can take time to go

But we'll see you later

Of that we're certain sure


I'm glad you are because I'm not. And I don't think my share of the Pizza and drink is going to bring me back like you both think that it will.


Naathrakodith.


I'm still feeling the feels and have to admit that Poetry is right. I feel the same as them and can't pretend to be above the fray of rough emotions of longing and loss.


The Dallas Star are off to the Western Conference Finals after defeating the Colorado Avalanche in overtimf of Game 7!


And they were down 3-2 at the beginning of the period! Then traded goals with the Avs that ended in their favour because they won the period


Yes!


Good-bye Avs.


Hopefully the Canucks can bounce the Knights too, just without overtime.


Please.


I'm at the bottom of the first page and it's after nine.


It's not looking like I'm going to harvest the 4th field for the fourth straight day, not when I have to harvest 16 rows and won't even harvest that many bercause I just realized that I have the 2nd BOJ drawing to do.


D'oh!


I forget that there was a livestream that I wanted to watch earlier in the week.


Okay, that was two that I missed.


Bad form Charles


So you're thinking of someone new

And just between me and you

It's quite alright

Because why should you fight

The natural reaction

To a goodly face

And lovely form

It's quite the norm


It's even okay

To think of more than one

It's even fun

But there comes a time

If you are blessed

Where you come to choose

And while you could lose

You could also win


Sadly for us

The brothers three

In service to the man

that hasn't gone according to plan

Not that we've planned it

But we have imagined

A better path

Than has usually been


And what we sadly fear

Is painfully clear

To being so

We're going to need

Some kind of miracle

Or goodly blessing

For us to be kissing

Any lovely lovely face

We'd even want to kiss 


But it is what it is

And to the good 

It's understood

That pathos is

Rather good for writing

So it's a gift

Let's make the best of it

And write write write

Then write some more

So maybe the day will come

When we have a good of our own

To share with someone right 


Poetry, why are you so dang positive in spite of the overwhelming history that should have left you bitter beyond all hope of it being anything but?


It's okay Poetry, you don't have to answer as we've been called away unfortunately.


We're back, but I can see we're not going to be seeing any writing from Story tonight.


Pity.  


Besides, Story hasn't shown up for the 3rd yet.
