What are your excuses for not writing?

They’re probably the same as mine and not very exciting:

    -Forgetting to give the dog his medicine

   -Forgetting to shut the windows again

   -Needing to mow the grass – because you see the neighbor out mowing hers

   -Believing your lack of ideas is a curse

   -Needing (wanting) to go for a run (this is legit)

   -Realizing a few lines is all the white page is gonna get 

   -Getting your husband ice cream?

   -Believing that writing is a long lost dream 

   -Making dinner – chopping onions 

   -Seeing that the clock is almost at 10

   -Thinking someone else is better 

   -Needing to put on a sweater 

Do you have to get up every time you sit down?

That’s what happens to me 

The dog has to go out to pee 

On the sofa, there’s unfolded laundry 

Dinner still isn’t cooked 

But I am 

Typing up some words and phrases is like overcoming a dam 

Maybe we use our excuses as tools 

Blaming others or situations is a fault of fools 

You have a minute, we all do 

How you spend it is up to you
