Life Stories: You Are a Writer
Not everyone likes to write,
but you do.
Not everyone thinks it's fun to fill paper with words,
but you do.
Not everyone enjoys looking at an empty screen or a blank page,
but you don't see an empty screen,
for you the blank page is not there.
You see clouds, or mountains, or the ocean, or your backyard.
You remember a scent.
You recall a touch.
Where to start?
Words, choices, phrases, a description, a color, a feeling,
tumble in your mind until one first letter catapaults out...... free.
And then you begin.
but you do.
