Write

Quote By Poet "A pen must write because they love to write." My imagination and creativity, is spewing ink all over the desk. Here I sit waiting for the words to come, with words like a tornado whirling around me. Many letters and words I need to find, but none want to come. I say, show yourself. I want to write, I need to write. Pen, now you must write. I will write when I want to, now is not the time.

Dear Paula, Your poem honestly reflects every writer's struggle - the constant battle between inspiration and the blank page. Your words capture the frustration and longing to write, yet the elusive muse sometimes seems to evade us. But I know creativity cannot be forced; it flows when ready. Keep embracing your love for writing; the words will come when right. Your passion shines through every line, with the joy and fulfillment found in the act of creation. - Blessings, Daniel
