What Am I Waiting For?

One hour set aside

Clear and tidy desktop

Select the paper,  sharpen pencils

Fire up computer 

I almost forgot – brush teeth

Make that dentist appointment

Adjust the paper

Find my favorite pen

A bit chilly

Get a sweater

Add a colorful scarf

Tie it just right

Back at the desk

Journal or start an essay

Reread my last attempt

Not very good, needs work

Make a cup of tea

Boil the water

Swish the tea bag

Add a bit of honey

Ah– that’s better

15 min left

What am I waiting for

Inspiration

The perfect topic

The perfect phrase

The perfect word

Just write

Doorbell rings

Open package

Time’s up

Maybe tomorrow…

Bit by bit, that’s all she wrote…
