Writing something worthwhile is hard. There must be thinking before the words form on the blank in front of you.

So you wait for the words. You stare at the screen, or the page, and wait for the words.

Except it’s not waiting. It’s trying. You’re trying for words. Sitting trying to say something, to write something, to find the words. That’s not waiting. That’s trying. But it doesn’t work.

It’s the staring that makes it difficult. The sitting. Don’t sit. Do something else instead. Something productive. Wash dishes. Mop the floor. Hang a shelf. Have experiences. See things. Do things. Become inspired.

Then sit. Then write. The blank waits for your words. You just need to find them. Don’t wait.
