Drafts are Like Debts
Easy to start and hard to complete. A haiku
"Incomplete drafts are like debts,
easy to accumulate, hard to pay,
many waiting for the light of the day."
I write a lot. On Medium alone, I have close to 300 published articles and about 6,000 incomplete drafts. I don’t think I’ll be able to complete them all in this lifetime.
Even on Vocal Media, where I am barely 3 month old, I have hundreds of drafts waiting to be finished.
It’s tough to complete one, when the next idea is already calling. Also, we are not feeling the same emotion, we started them with.
So today, drafts felt like unsurmountable debts.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

I hope you finish them, as it would be sad to not release them to your supporters who love your work 🏆🌻🙏🙏🙏
It can seem that way for I am also working on many projects, and about to start researching a new one. I am planning on writing a reading curriculum that uses an old and yes obsolete office skill. Good job on the haiku.
