I love the energy of this piece. I can relate to the excitement of wondering what you will write next, how all of the pieces and parts fit together, what is left to be said and what is best left unsaid. And those days when you feel you're barreling forward--that's a gift, a counterbalance to the days when writing feels like pushing through molasses.
