Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

The perfect time to write is one of the less expected.

I write a lot, everyday, day after day. I am writing now.

There are times when people like me don’t feel like writing. Those are the perfect times to write. Here is why.

I write a lot because I like to write a lot (makes sense, right?). When I don’t feel like writing, I am in an unusual mood, in an unusual state. I am off kilter (what does kilter mean anyway?).

If I were to write when in an unusual mood, state, or kilter, I am apt to write something completely new and completely different.

When I don’t feel like writing, I am apt to write something new and wonderful.
