Most weekdays at 11 AM you will find me sitting at my keyboard, typing the words as quickly as they skitter out of the ethers into my hands. Passion flows and thank goodness, no one can stop it.
This tells you my Week Daily #ROW80 Round of WordsHourlong Word-Sprint has begun and nothing and I mean nothing will stop me from writing.
Even today, when writing seemed like the most remote exercise imaginable.
I managed to write over 1,000 words of which, these are slightly usable.
I appreciate how they captured what I am feeling.

I think I wasn’t supposed to write today.
I think I was supposed to sit someplace and listen.
Sometimes language gets the best of me.
Sometimes my to-do lists get the best of me.
Sometimes what other people think gets the best of me.
I think I wasn’t supposed to write today.
I think I was supposed to lie down and shut my eyes.
Sometimes I ask questions filled with expectation.
Sometimes I answer questions as if I know what I am talking about.
I think I wasn’t supposed to write today.
I think I was supposed to cuddle with my dogs and smile.
Sometimes I think I know better.
Sometimes I need a dose of buttery rice.
I think I wasn’t supposed to lecture myself today.
I think I was supposed to bathe in classical music.
Sometimes I don’t listen.
Sometimes it is best to hold your pencil still.
I think I wasn’t supposed to self-fault find today.
I think I will stand up and wave the white flag.
I hear cheering.
I see the idea spreading.
I take a deep breath of nothing.
