Step One: Take sleeping pill.
Step Two: Doze.
Step Three: Awaken with two separate ideas for poems.
Step Four: Write them on your tablet.
Step Five: Sleep.
Step Six: Look at what you wrote the next day.
Step Seven: Cringe.
Step Eight: Post the first one on your poetry blog against your better judgment.
Step Nine: Keep the second one hidden, as it contains no capitalization, punctuation, or even coherent thought toward the end.
Step Ten: Confess your sins to your writer friend, FangBunny.
Step Eleven: Hold your breath while she reads your blog to see the bad--but at least properly punctuated--poem you posted.
Step Twelve: Cackle like a madwoman when she says, "It's not awful at all. But god...all the points to you for brooding spectacularly."
Step Thirteen: Post your friend's comment on your OTHER blog for posterity, duh.
