The hardest words to write

I think the hardest words I write every day are the first ones.

After a break from writing, it feels like one of the most arduous tasks in the word - to get back to work. The whole ordeal feels like an amusement park ride. The time you spend preparing - getting the coffee, queuing the music, setting up the productivity software so you can ignore social media... that's like being in a 120 min line, each part of the process necessary. Sometimes, you get to fast-track it, but most of the time, not.

Then... you finally get there. You sit down to write... and the words can't seem to make it on to the page. This is that climb. During some part of a great roller coaster ride, you have that slow climb where you anticipate the best part of the ride. A person doesn't always remember this part of the ride, but it's there. To me, the first few words, few sentences really, of writing each day is this slow climb. I pray that the ride doesn't break down during this climb since the rest of the ride is going to be awesome.
