A5: Afterthought

What is 26 x 5?
130 times I've posted a sentence, or a question, or an idea based on that first alphabet exercise from earlier this year. I've actually been blogging daily for almost eight months. Go me.

So it's not an afterthought, but it does offer an opportunity to reflect. Am I gaining what I need to by writing this blog? Is my connection to fiction - tenuous, anxiety-ridden - kept afloat by writing these sentences?

Or are they allowing me to avoid the real, hard work of writing actual story every day?

Afterthought: Muriel felt like an afterthought most days. And most days she relished the fact that her status was her own choice.
