A blank page.
An idea.
A black pen.

Excitement.
Anticipation.
Fear.

Primal Fear

Worried that the words will not come.
Though, they inevitably do.
It may take moments,
Or days
Then they suddenly appear,
As if by magic.

A story.
Telling one about the life of another.

Engrossing.
Intriguing.
The need to know more almost…
Overpowering.
The desire to spin the tale;
Exhilarating.

To write, and then to read.
Invigorating.
Passionate.
Thrilling.
Satisfying.
