I don’t really know what to write
and that, itself, is not so much a problem
only the shade of a problem.
The problem is thinking “I don’t know what to write”
and then not writing –
only thinking about not writing
and not, actually, writing.
Oh dear –
what a muddle of thoughts
a tangle, a jumble
sluggishly lumbering, encumbering thoughts
echoing ’round and ’round
till there is no way out –
and each points the way back,
a signpost in the dark,
to this one thought, the original thought:
“I don’t know –”
and here is the problem,
which is actually only the shade of a problem,
because the problem lies not in knowing
but in doing.
yes!!!! love!!!! thank you!!! helped me. ππππ

Thanks a lot River, you’re very kind to say that… as for NaNo, in a bit of a muddle tbh! But sure it’ll work itself out. and as you say, “because the problem lies not in knowing / but in doing.” So I need to get doing ;)))

Thank you, Nadine, that is so nice of you to say. It brightened my day. β€οΈ Hope you are staying safe and well!
I am still muddling along. Sometimes seems like nothing much to show for it, but one day “something” will emerge. I will do my best.
