Write the damn book

Patience is a virtue and time is a gift

Constant reminders of what we might miss

Inspiration for writers is all around

In every sight, smell and sound.

You are a dreamer with a talent for art.

Your writing talent sets you apart

Stop overthinking and step into your book

Stories are recipes and you are the cook.

Despite your talent you sit and wait

Worrying you won’t be great

You wait for the right moment to put pen to paper

‘I’ve got time, I will start later.’

Patience is a virtue in the right hands.

But it can be your undoing.

Write the damn book.
