#PantsNaNoWriMo day 16: How writing is real work - and energetically draining - and at first just showing up to do the work is enough. Also giving ourselves credit for degree of difficulty.

#PantsNaNoWriMo day 15: On being stuck, whether it's writer's block, and how creative flow can't be scheduled. Also a bit on how our creative brainz work.

#PantsNaNoWriMo day 13: On the value of daydreaming, and - though only writing counts as writing - how this is the great cheat if you don't have unlimited time to write. Also, a poem about poets and windows.

The poem I read is "Monday," from Billy Collins' 2006 poetry collection The Trouble With Poetry and Other Poems. You can read it here.
