It is your time to write, right now.
It is your turn for your voice to be heard, to have an echo – for people to hear you, to see your words on the page and allow those words to rain into their skin, their spirit, their psyche – people want to access your words hours, days, weeks, months, years later and say “I remember, I know, I trust, I love…”
Say it aloud, now, write it:
“It is my time to write, right now.”
It isn’t too late. You are exactly at the just right starting place for you now.
When I lift my fingers from the keyboard and shut my eyes, I can hear your pencil scratching across the page. The sound of my fingers tapping the keyboard is replaced by the sound of your fingers dancing on your keyboard.
I feel a smile cross my face.
In my mind’s eye I see other writers across time smiling with me, with you, as they hear, as they see you finally understanding your way into action. It is your time to write, right now.
Write this phrase,
“It is my time to write, right now. It is my time to write, right now. It is my time to write, right now.” And write it over and over again until other words speak up your arm and out your fingers.
There are phrases waiting – they’ve been waiting. There are people listening who don’t even know they are listening for precisely what you have to say.
No one else can say it like you do.
You are unique. Your message is yours alone to share. Even if your writing right now is completely private. Even if you shut your file when someone gets close to your computer. Even if you hide your notebook or journal under last year’s sweaters – the process of getting them out of your body and onto the page matters. It matters a lot. Your words matter. A lot.
It is your time to write, right now.
