Why Writing is Hard

I agree with Meg. She’s really identified the essence. Only thing that she missed is how sore my ass gets when I’m sitting and typing. When I’m writing and it’s really gushing, as often happens, I quit feeling my body. I’m just not there. Then the energy falls, and I’m back at the computer, looking around, dazed, as she says, with a numb arse. And weirdly, I often want to type more. The mind and the muse are willing but the energy says, “No, dude, you gotta stop.”
