Priorities

a comic and poem about taking on too many writing projects

By J. JayPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read
Drawn by me :)

Tell me a story

or two or four

press pause for one

and go searching for more

- - - - - - - -

The work is never finished

some consider it a chore

but I enjoy the friends

I meet when I explore

- - - - - - - -

They talk in riddles

laying out their lore

I listen and record

their seashells on my shore

- - - - - - - -

Some are half-strung necklaces

crammed in my back drawer

now and then I’ll fish them out

they remind me how to soar

I like to share my art and writings, whether it's silly or serious. I'll also feature a comic I work on called Writing Whoas, which is about the joys and hardships of being a writer. Stick around to laugh or cry.

    lol this is so relatable! I couldn’t say if I love the cartoon or the poem more - both feel so much like my “process,” if you could even call it that! Thanks for sharing J 💕
