NaNoWriMo Day 2
howl in doggy mirth
---------------------
Today i willfully disregarded the
1,700 words i need to meet today's NaNoWriMo 2002 quota. Curtis White is
the reason.
--------------------
And then, suddenly, as if it's
midnight New Year's Eve of the millennium,
the two dogs leap in the air, join paws, dance in a
tight circle, howl in doggy mirth,
their nails clicking on the floor, their
bony dog elbows occasionally banging hard when they slip, but they
don't care, pain means nothing, they're celebrating something that
has been a long, long time coming.
Curtis White,
American author, from Requiem.
