words and sentences and stories

You know what I do when I don’t know what to write? I start writing.

Just start typing words. Rectangle. America. Megaphone. Monday.

Then start writing sentences. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

Then start writing stories. Once upon a time, in a far away land, a young prince lived in a shining castle.

Next time, I’ll make sure that the words and sentences and stories are mine. Today, forgive me my borrowing. I write what I know and right now all I know are other people’s words and sentences and stories. Maybe tomorrow I’ll actually write.
