Summer Words, 2000
by Robert Nichols ©2001

The greatest obstacle to art is big ideas.

June of 2000 was a time in my writing of huge concepts and no products. The dreaded ‘writer’s block’ had stilled the clatter of my keyboard, the flow of my pen.  Every time I tried to start something, the complexity, the mass of the idea stifled action.

So, I tried a different approach.  Instead of commencing years of work on a new book, I determined that I would write a complete 200 word essay every day for the coming summer.  Forget the Nobel Prize for Literature for awhile, I would write about whatever the moment conjured and get something on paper and finished.

The idea worked.  This book is the product of that summer’s work

I did most of the original writings for this book while eating breakfast at various fine venues of cholesterol and coffee, primarily in the Denver area.  It was possible to write each day knowing that if all else failed, I could simply knock off 200 words describing the world about me, the taste of bacon, or the fit of the waitress' blue jeans.  Fortunately, once the mantle of profundity was put aside, I knew no dearth of topics through which to vent my art.
