The Attic Light

Should authors keep their old stories in the attic or the basement? The basement is secure, tornado-proof and such. Safe for tall, tortured tales. But the attic in my mind has old, thick-paned windows, dusty from the misspent years. Moonlight can slip through, casting strange, fresh light on crooked, overworked plots. Yes, I think my old stories live there. I need to go up there soon. Soon, but not today. See, there’s a coward living at the bottom of my attic stairs. Until tomorrow… Chloe #storage #old #attic #coward
