Beating the blank page
How do you will yourself to type when you’re thoroughly creeped out by the stories in your head?
This problem is one reason I find myself continually less inclined to socialize.

Pelicans, at least the brown variety that fish Lake Merritt, are shaped like tanker trucks with dinosaur heads - a creature that looks like it has no business flying. I watch these birds for their narrative: an exhausting-looking awkward takeoff, precarious circling, and then suicidal dives into the shallow lake. When successful, this is followed by great gagging motions as they choke down...
