Being
a writer is something I dreamed of for thirty years. I made dabs and spurts of starts along the
way, but never fully embraced the idea of “P Michael Biggs – Writer.”
I
first thought “If I could own a lighthouse and turn the globe part of that
structure into my writing room, then I will write.”
And
the dance went on without me.
Without
adding other stories and metaphors to this topic, let me cut to the chase.
Circumstances
will never be ideal for any pursuit we desire.
We dance now – in the rain, in the lack of ideal circumstances, and with
the tools and equipment at hand … NOW, NOW, NOW!
I
have learned that I can write in tire stores, libraries, coffee shops, in my
auto, on airplanes, at Denny’s restaurants, and even with a spectacular view of
the Puget Sound out my window.
I’m
learning to dance wherever I am, and with whatever tools are at hand.
And
the weather doesn’t interfere. I’ve
written in thunderstorms, snow storms, at midnight, and early morning. I have learned to do the thing at hand
NOW. If I wait for ideal circumstances
and perfect timing, the ideas may not show up on time.
I
feel like dancing NOW.
And
so I write.
Here
is the quote that is my inspiration today.
P Michael Biggs
