WHAT WRITING IS LIKE
Writing is like
There’s no Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
It's like there's no 1 o’ clock, 2 o’ clock, 3 o’ clock, 4 o’ clock....12 o’ clock.
There's no morning, mid-morning, mid-afternoon, evening...
There's no from 1 pm to 6 pm
‘cause that's the time your brain won't work.
There's no “I can beat this, I can do it,
nothing is impossible”
‘cause writing will go “haaa! haaa! haaaa!!”
as you stare blankly into space.
Writing is like “don't have pets;
You never know when you'll have to walk out on them.”
Writing is like “Don't be regular dude;
if you're gonna do a program every Sunday,
that’s when you're gonna be wanting to write.”
Writing can be so many cups of coffee?
Writing is like your live-in partner who can ditch you anytime but also your One True Love.
Writing is like count backwards up to 5 and you'll get going
so here goes: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, zzzzzzzz....
G’night!
