writing

i've been staring at the screen for the past ... one hour

my desk calendar is still the year 2008

my second glass of coffee is half full [yes glass, i don't like hot drinks]

the straw is half chewed

and i still can't come up with a coherent paragraph.

so i've concluded this,

writing is 80% research and 20% inspiration

writing is 90% hard work and 10% luck

writing is 70% correction, 20% coherence and only 10% flawless

writing is at times 100% satisfying

and most times 100% pure torture.
