And since this is a text post, not an image post, I can give you a preview:
Ideas
are like constellations. Sometimes they’re bright and clear, so
compelling that they demand to be stared at. Sometimes they’re
obstinate, only looking right if you lean back and squint at them.
Sometimes they’re too shy to be seen directly at all, and you have to
pretend you’re not looking at them to find out what they are.
But
if you stare at something directly for long enough, even something
clear and brilliant, you begin to lose focus. You blink, rub your eyes,
anything to keep it where it should be. But focus, like starlight, is an
elusive thing. You get bored with looking at your constellation. You
think it may not be as pretty as you thought it was. And those other
constellations start to look awfully appealing...
I hope my tips are helpful!
Hopefully, I will have the next much-delayed short story runner-up posted soon.
