If this is it, then what was that?
If now is the time, then what came before?
(Part 1 of 3)
I have about 75 minutes to prepare for church as I write this Sunday morning, so why would I take time to go through a writing exercise?
“Writers write, so write, Writer.”
It’s as simple as that.
And as complicated.
Write what? Write how? Why write?
That last is easy to answer — because writers write, and I have identified as a writer.
Although … the phrasing “I have identified as” implies that I had a choice, but from the moment they handed Little Me a pencil, I have been writing my hieroglyphics.
And so I am a writer. What can I do about that? I can write. And so I write.
And I repeat: Write what? Anything, at first. And then, eventually, Something. I did not know when I picked up the pen this morning that I would write about writing. But here we are.
And what next?
To be continued.
