Writing is easy. All you have to do is sit at a typewriter and open a vein.

Some people find sitting down at the typewriter the difficult part, as perhaps they can’t seem to “find the time”. I find the hardest part is opening the vein – sure I can always write when I want to, but it’s finding my true voice that is sometimes difficult.
Thanks for the thought-provoking quote today~
When I’ve read the quote, I always focused on the “vein” and didn’t think about the “sitting down at the typewriter” part. But right!, finding the time isn’t so easy either.
Thanks for visiting ~
Ouch!
Let it bleed, let it bleed . . . Oh, o, oh, let it bleed . . . whisper words of wisdom . . . let it bleed!
thanks to Paul and John, who probably opened a few veins while writing their version.

Now I’ll always hear the “Let It Bleed” version! Mother Mary comes to me…
(…yes, thanks Paul and John and…)
Thanks, Michael J., for coming to my blog!
Damn, I should have kept the typewriter…maybe that would keep me from cleaning windows…that’s how bad my “not-knowing-what-to-write-and-it’s-anyway-no-good-blockade” is. You see, window cleaning is NOT on my to-do list, not ever… 😉
I hear ya’!! I had a very clean house ’til NaNo finally kicked through my blocks & got me in front of the Mac (never could write on a PC, would have been willing to try a typewriter too…anything!) Good luck at the keyboard~ Thanks for stopping by~
Julia Cameron calls it “The Vein of GOLD”!
It bleeds magic and beauty!
