Dear God, what have I gotten myself into now?? I am honored … okay, too strong … I am advised by Dan Alatorre that I have advanced to the final round in his Flash Fiction Challenge: Haiku Edition. Are there prizes? Highly unlikely, but if there are, I suspect they may involve alcohol. More specifically, virtual alcohol. As in, “Cheers! You won!” Ah, what the hell. In for a penny, in for a pound. Whatever the hell that means.

So, for the final round, Dan took the Random Topic Generator for a spin, and this is what that evil device came up with:

“What is one of your worst habits?” Again, extra points for (*ahem*) “spiritual” inspiration.

Well, at least it provides ample material.

Dear Senor Cuervo
A novel cries out for me
Procrastination

Okay, back to work I go.

P.S. to Dan: At my writers’ group this morning, I blamed you for my lack of productivity. Just sayin’.

On the plus side, they all seemed very impressed that I’d advanced to the final round of something involving alcohol. I chose to let them believe what they wanted to believe. My legend grows.
