Write on

It's funny how when it comes down to it and you absolutely must, you just can't find the urge to write...


When 10 pages (+/- 5p ages) stand between you and a second Masters' degree you just can't find the words...


Yet, you...


Write a text to a classmate complaining about writing
and write a Tweet that plots the steps you're taking to be ready to write,


...but you just can't find the urge to write.


And then you...


Write out a birthday card to a friend
and write a quick reminder for the grocery store tomorrow,


...but still there's just no urge to write.


Soon you...


Write back and forth with some friends on Facebook about writing
and write an email to catch up with someone from the past,


...but where did that urge go to write?


In a hurry you...


Write back to that middle of the night drunk text-message from Mr. Saturday Night
and write another text to your best friend saying he's written.


...but you still can't find the urge to write.


And you write a blog about writing, and write search terms in Google, and write appointments on your calendar, and write out checks for the bills you must pay...


...but you're missing that urge to write.


But in a last minute jolt of energy in the dark of night comes a feeling so right and you get the urge to write and with the might of a knight and by that dim red light your fingers take flight and you write and you write 'cause you're bright.
