That Day

Yesterday was one of those days where I work on something to write spending time creating, rewriting and editing then get to the end and think , "this sucks".  What to do? Put it aside for another day then go back and look it over to see if maybe there is something to salvage. Took a look from a different point of view or add something that is missing. No doubt others that feel the need to put pen to paper have experienced this as well. Some days I've found are better spent in further researching or cultivating ideas when the work just doesn't meet my standards. I've always been my harshest critic which is probably why virtually everything I've written over the years has remained in a collection of beat up notebooks and scribbled bits on random pages torn from journals. The old journals I've since burned or shredded with the idea in mind that I've moved past that and on to something new. The things I worked through on paper I carry with me wherever I go. I don't keep my old math tests why would these be any different? Every day is new. Life is about constant renewal. What's new today?
