still at it...

"Version Five" just went out.

Bi-coastal.

FIVE times I've written it.  FIVE times received feedback.  FIVE times worked it through and FIVE times re-written it.

FIVE.

I never would've had the patience for this even a few years ago.  It's evidence--this newfound patience and perseverance--of 1) desperation ['cause I want/need it to work so bad] and 2) a work-ethic born of beats.

You get beat down and beat down and beat down again and, eventually, you just resign yourself to the process. You just sit there and do the work.

('cause what else you got to do?)

Lemme' say though, it's STILL fun.

FIVE times in.

I'm still enjoying it.
