Today I write the invocation that opens my epic. Today I stretch the canvas for the first of my landscapes. Today I turn the first pot. Today I bang the chisel into the virgin marble as I start the first of my four hundred caryatids. Today, I pen the overture to my opera.
Today I write a hundred first lines to a hundred novels.
Tomorrow will be the same.
Or you could be me and be lost in a sea of final details…

Yes. (I should have added “self-referential Livejournal entries” to that list.)
