Urgency

At 51 years of age, I am done with 'preparing to prepare.' 

I have broken my addiction to 'Epic Delay.' 

My 'one day' has turned into 'how do I move it forward today.'

I can edit the words I write but I can never go back and edit the day in which I wrote them. That only comes once.

I've always had something to say, but now I am much quicker to give myself permission to say it.

As I look back I can see patterns and themes throughout my life. I try not to reduce them to caricatures or cliches. Instead, I see them as well-springs to be explored and developed or alternatively pitfalls to be avoided. So my age, my history, informs my writing and demands that it be done.
