Flicker of Inspiration

J Alfred Prufrock measured out his life in coffee spoons. I measure out my novels in coffee candles. Tomorrow I will light this candle. One or two candles later a novel will materialise. I bought the chap in the background when I was a teenager. His body is so strong but his posture is so vulnerable. I keep him in my writing space to remind me of the strength and vulnerability of my heroes when I write. It is a fortunate happenstance that the man I married looks just like him. :)
