The easy way

It is easier to not work than work.
It is easier just to say, "I can't do this," than to try.
It is easy just to fall out of habits than to keep them up.
Easier not to create. Easier to watch TV. Easier to read poems other people have written. Easier to read great novels.
Much easier.
So if you want to write, you just have to push yourself beyond all real reason for doing it, especially when rejection is the typical result of everything you do.
I've been having to push myself to get much of anything done, like walking through goopy mud.
But I'm trying.
Yours in rejection,

Phil
