The very struggle of writing is a key component of writing. I used to dream of days I could blog and journal and tweet and write, unencumbered by the world and its distractions. But the words would be soft as butter and just about as sturdy.

Instead, give me a struggle, an obstacle, or a bunch of them, and some inconvenience, too. And challenge me not to find time for fingertips on keys or pencil on paper. I will find it. And I hope the contents will reflect how much I love this stuff (as do you!) that I’ll conquer anything to get to it.
