Write. Write everyday. Just 200, 3000, 5.5 million words a day. Just write. Write something. A love story. A horror piece. Elicit moans and groans. For goodness sakes, JUST WRITE! Hurry. Your ink is drying up. Dry. Why won’t you write?! Unstuck the words from your fingers. Fling them on a page. They are DRYING! These words only have once to get out. GET THEM OUT. Sinking, withdrawing, they shrink in fear. The voices in your head, louder now, shouting. Shouting with a plead…WRITE! Like a dictator commanding its people, your head commands you to write. NOW!
But don’t write. Don’t write now! You’re not ready. NOT READY! Your words are too precious, you can’t share them. They are heavy in your hands, their weight a familiar feel. Keep them to yourself. Soak up their beauty. Don’t share your words. Like a monk in a monastery, your heart commands you to keep these words to yourself. Sacred.
So don’t write. Don’t write cause you’re not ready, Your heart and head are at odds I command you not to do anything And you’ll listen, With a fervor, You’ll obey And You Won’t Write A Single. *******. Word.
