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!
