“Progress” by Athalia Johnson
I feel that’s it’s harder to begin a project because it’s frustrating to work out which part to work on first and create the structure for what will become a finished piece. Finishing a project is easier because you’re adding details and final touches and are more clear-headed about what you want the final outcome to be.

She had endured a life seated in unparalleled heartbreak. She was not born hard; she was a woman made cold by circumstance.
She walked up to the door… her black leather heels digging deep into the softening oak beneath her. She didn’t knock. Her steps were authoritative without being obnoxiously loud. She seemed emotionless but if you looked hard enough you would see that her compassion ran deep. She had endured a life seated in unparalleled heartbreak. She was not born hard; she was a woman made cold by circumstance.
Excerpt from “A Woman Made Cold” original short story
by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
This story is still unfinished. It comes to me in pieces that may or may not ever fit together, but I suppose that is the nature of inspiration.

His ruined ears can hear no truth
His soiled hands can share no warmth
I know his eyes seem soft at times
but they’ll steal what’s good in you
you’re just his fool
you’re just his fool
dance a jig to make him laugh
you’re just his fool
his loyal fool
Good Old Captain Crow
Your pity gets the best of you
that crooked fool you see is you
i know he’s lonesome, lost, and blind
but you can’t bring him back to life
“Captain Crow” from unfinished musical titled A Woman Made Cold
& Partial Portrait of a Man by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
