Why I Write
Location
I see, I hear, I touch, I smell, I taste
My senses
My senses are bringing in too much information
Thoughts are forming
Swirling around in my head
Feelings are developing
Pressure is building
On the verge of exploding
Must organize thoughts
Must organize feelings
Must make sense of the world around me
Find letters, find words
Turn thoughts and feelings into words
Put words together
Make fragments
Put fragments together
Take fragments apart
Rearrange fragments
Capitalize first letter, put period at the end
A sentence.
Make more sentences
Put sentences together
Rearrange sentences
Cross a sentence out
Put a new sentence in
Indent first sentence
A paragraph.
Make more paragraphs
Or instead of indenting just skip a line
Now it's a stanza
Now it's poetry.
Keep finding letters
Keep finding words
Keep making fragments
Keep making sentences
Keep making paragraphs
Keep making stanzas
Keep writing
Keep writing
Keep writing
Finished.
Now my mind is at ease.
