i don’t want to write

I have to write

My writing is a woman singing an annoying song in my head over and over and over again

Until I spill out the song into my fingers

And bleed it down for you to see

fact or fiction

    Well-wrought! I laughed at this in the best way for all the right reasons. It might also have been entitled "The Pestering Muse".

    😁 I'm Henery the 8th I am, I am... I'm Henery the 8th I am... I got married to the widow next door .... .... I get it. When working on a novel my brain is in overdrive and I can't sleep. Been there. 😉

    yeah, the thoughts exploding in brain sometimes feel that way! Isn't it great that you let those thoughts bleed on paper? Or maybe screen, hehe 😄🤝 Great Job, dear.
