There’s a tight feeling that often starts around the heart

or at the back of your throat…

if you can’t get pen to page (or fingers to keys)

fast enough, the queasy feeling in your stomach starts.

Being forced to ‘wait’ in order to get

fresh ideas out of your head and arranged

in the right order

can make you feel even more sick and nauseous.

If you can,

give yourself permission to puke

your words on the page,

then clean up the mess afterwards.

That horrible, anticipatory feeling goes

away much faster.
