It was an early summer morning, an enchanting time when flowers were blooming, blackberries were spurting to full growth and the birds were happy to have sunny warmth. I had taken myself out to the back porch, where I often settle down to write after I have finished a gentle run.All was perfect that morning except for one thing: The words wouldn’t come. It is a terrible thing to be a writer who is wordless at times.
Hard labor sure is an effective motivator
