A Poet's Diary
  1. Bought a bicycle and, with a friend’s help, named it Rojo Eleganza.
  2. Defended my bike name choice to folks who thought I should’ve named it Enid.
  3. Watched an episode of Scandal.
  4. Watched an episode of Once Upon a Time.
  5. Finished reading Mr. Penumbra’s 24 Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan.

About an hour ago, I finally sat down to write. I’ve been slowly easing my way into an awkward sex scene. (Aren’t all sex scenes awkward?) Writing them feels like a test to see how well I know the characters. That, to me, seems to be the only reason characters should have sex in books: they’re trying to tell us something about themselves.
