Cursor blinking.

blink. blink. blink.

Nothing to say.

blink. blink. blink.

Cell phone chimes.

blink. blink. blink

A welcome distraction.

blink. blink. blink.

Return a text to a friend.
(check email)
(surf on Twitter)
(stare off in space)
(get a drink of water)
(talk to a colleague)
(return to desk)
(back to blog)

Blink. blink. blink.

Still no ideas.

blink. blink. blink.

If I don't write now, it won't get done.

blink. blink. blink.

This flicker of an idea will have to do.

Save and quit.

    This is awesome! I see a perfect small moment story that began with you noticing something - the blinking of the cursor. Then you went on to show what you heard and your actions!
    Great slice!

  3. I have lots of post that start out with I have nothing to say to day and 400 words later I hit send. This was a great poem. Just keep putting words down.

  4. You are speaking my language! There are some days when I just stare at the screen thinking it'll speak to me or my fingers will magically start going.... they don't. :) Thanks for keeping it real!

  5. Love everything about this. The parts in parentheses added a lovely break from structure when you broke away from writing. Nicely written!
