Writing

Writing in TRAIN OF THOUGHT

Boxes in my office hold volumes of stories and other writings I never finished.

Even though I wrote this (train of thought) piece years ago I remember it vividly.

It was early June after a grueling week of teaching. I’d had a couple of martinis downstairs with Bob, but he fell asleep.

I was finishing the last of my martini at my desk trying to begin writing a story that had been on my mind for days.

    Help Me, I am searching for the meaning of it all!

I stared at the sentence for a long spell. I poured another drink.

 Back at my desk when I read that line OUT LOUD

I answered OUTLOUD….

Open your mind, pour all those words in your mind on a page without lifting your pen.

Write, write write….Do Not Think….Just write.

 I wrote in all Caps, no spaces and no punctuation.

I wrote slow and steady without stopping to read what I had written.

I wrote until I reached the bottom of the page and felt that I had said all

I had to say.

When I read what I had written. I was not surprised. At last I was honest with myself.
