I've lost her to the creative fog.

I've been trying to talk Linda into getting back into creative writing again.

We met at writer's group 28 years ago.  Once in a lifetime thing.

She also writes fantasy and has a tremendous imagination.  She had (has) some struggles with spelling and grammar but has gotten 1000% better, plus the writing programs are pretty great at catching things these days.

So she finally picked up a couple of her unfinished books and started reading and revising.  "I really like these!" she says.  "They are really good."

So now I've lost her.

I wake up this morning and she is at her writing station, and I pour myself a cup of coffee and stare at her.

"I've lost you, haven't I."

She looks up, all blurry and unfocused.

"Goodbye," she says.

"Goodbye," I answer, and head downstairs.
