Sometimes the words come easily, flowing out of me so fast my pen can hardly keep up, small words skipped entirely, my handwriting a barely intelligible scrawl. But other times it's torturous, pushing the words down my arm and out through stiff and uncooperative fingers. And yet the drive to write is there, on both kinds of days. Maddening, really.

  1. Yes, it is. I have this alot. Sometimes I have to just draw in circles to get it out, because sometimes there are no words. Pre-verbal. Hang in there.
