Chapter 18: I Give Up!

Part IX: A New Beginning

Mike Wolf · 2012 · 95 words

I give up! He thought.

“I give up!” He said, for emphasis.

“I give up!!” He said, with two exclamation marks, for even more emphasis.

I’ve got to face reality. My writing is crap. My only hope is the muse.

I’m going to trust her.

I’m gong to do what she says!

I’m going to delete every copy of everything that I ever wrote.

I’m going to start fresh.

I’m really excited about the chance to work with a real muse.

I can’t wait for New Chapter 1.
