The Write Battle

Time means training. Each time a writer tosses words across a page, the practice gains energy for another session of
word-after-word.

What if you have nothing to write about?  Write about nothing.  Let your internal editor sleep in. Begin with fingers poised on the keyboard or with a pen that lets the loops and lines expand and
dance on the page.

You do not have to mean anything just permit the eyes to float past a window to spring's sounds and scents. Hear the hammers of construction at 7 a.m. and wonder how they practice their craft day after day.

If a pause occurs, make connections with the candles of new growth that sprout from branches. Watch as they extend upward from an Aleppo pine beyond the window. Watch the house sparrows race among leaves. Listen for a mockingbird's imitations.

Notice shapes and silhouettes.

Feel the uplift of the breeze that adds to your merriment of just watching and letting your fingers express the sensory imagery like a maestro at the piano keys.

Writing daily grasps the battle for something not against it.  The flow that arrives will spark you day after day.

Write into your rhythm!
