“Planes ” by Starlight Tucker

Submitted to Contest #82

I had a dream that I was standing in an empty part of the city, unsure of where I was and why I was there.

Reality can be draining to the writer’s soul because obligations can rob creative energy. Every time I think about doing what I love, thoughts about the endless tasks I’m behind on get in the way, and it feels like I have no right to delay them. Ideas and opportunities are always conflicting. Tsunamis of ideas hit me at inopportune times, then trying to dream on paper is like waiting for rain on a sunny day. Stirring the overfilled mind is frustrating. The best step I’ve taken is relating my coursework back to my creative pursuits, doing res...
