Broken Roses Inspired by Jack London
The full "inspiration" quote by Jack London, which comes from a "how to" article that London wrote for *The Editor* magazine in 1903 entitled "Getting Into Print," is even more instructive for aspiring writers. It reads: "Don't loaf and invite inspiration; light out after it with a club, and if you don't get it you will nonetheless get something that looks remarkably like it." "The Priestly Perogative" is about a loyal and hard-working woman who props up her incompetent and abusive husband despite being in love with another man. She plans to escape her bad marriage but is convinced not to by a Jesuit priest. The priest regrets this advice as the story ends. I'm not sure if the story applies to the heartsick young fellow you encountered; it sounds like she left him.— May 14, 2012 12:56 p.m.
