rate?)\u00a0 It&#8217;s a fast-growing plant, and even plants that don&#8217;t grow fast do change each day.\u00a0 I guess it&#8217;s just&#8230;okay, dovetailing into writing metaphor here: I face this bulb each day when I write, and though mostly I succeed in nudging up the page count by the end of the day, there&#8217;s also a lot of re-outlining, rewriting, scrapping and reconceiving.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s undeniable that at the end of the week, I have gone somewhere with my story, and month after month, I get closer not just to the end, but to a story that&#8217;s sound.\u00a0 It may seem like it creeps as slowly as these roots toward the bottom of the glass (&#8220;are they moving at all?\u00a0 Maybe it&#8217;s my imagination.\u00a0 They were this long yesterday&#8230;&#8221;)&#8211;little changes happen each day.\u00a0 Stay tuned for flowering!<\/p>\n<p>(ps, can I also add what a freaking pain it was to upload those photos?\u00a0 Unless I resize the pics, WordPress tells me I&#8217;ve gone over my jpg limit.\u00a0 Any advices appreciated.\u00a0 I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the second weeklyish On my Desktop , in which I photograph something on the desktop and do a little dance about it.\u00a0 This
