Pen and Ink

Writing, in its most literal sense, is easy. The familiarity of working frequently used muscles in the practical efficiency that is required to grasp and lift your chosen writing implement is taken for granted because, after all, you have been writing for years. These days, when you have the time, you write to fulfill a need. Lists of duties to be maintained, a signature here and there. Mostly you write to complete tasks assigned by scholars who have no regard for the needs of an artist’s soul. We’re going to ask you to do something different today. Today we want you to create. Today we want you to bare your soul and allow emotion to tumble from a fount of dammed expression that you can no more control than you can control a waterfall falling, or wind blowing… or time escaping. Lately, tight lines form around your eyes and your once easy smile is now strained. We can fix that. Relief dwells within our somber viscosity. Timid relief flows as you allow your weariness to unravel exquisitely across the barren page.
