Challenging, time-consuming, imperfect, irritating, tedious, under-appreciated, trivialized, exasperating, unfathomable, impossible -- creative writing places the dreaded blank page in front of me, every morning for the daily rite, every day for Agnes's story, every week for Aaron's tale.
Fifteen minutes later, the warm-up has passed and I'm off and running.
Enriching, illuminating, beauteous, edifying, symmetrical, expressive, funny, touching, sad, revealing -- creative writing tells me why I breathe and why my heart keeps on beating.
