D had some good ideas and I want to get the notes down because the brain of teaching and grading has me. Right now I am looking at 15 conferences a day for the next 4 days so Carlos and Felipa will have to take a back seat right now.

But D’s idea was to have some coverage of the conversation between Carlos and his Compadre before ‘the fight’ and perhaps give some coverage to Felipa inside of the grocery and their individual thought processes. I need to go back and think more clearly on means of perceptions and the switches as I move from white space to white space.

Dear John Paul Jaramillo:

We appreciate the opportunity to read your work, but unfortunately this submission was not a right fit for The Literary Review. We apologize for the long response time.

Thank you for trying us.

Sincerely,

The Editors of The Literary Review

The brain of my course load has me and didn’t have the time to draft or get any free writing down today. I did think about Carlos and how he might’ve acted or been an hour or so before his amputation surgeries. He would’ve stripped down and laid down in the hallway, tired and lonely becase Felipa is away haunting around the neighborhood where her daughter, Bruna, might be with Carlos’ daughter…
