I suffer from blank page syndrome
Write a line
Delete it
Type out a word
Delete it and agonize over the replacement for hours
Erase a stanza
Create a new one
Change the title
Leave it permanently Untitled
Change direction
Change motifs
Commit to a style
Destroy style
Convention?
Fuck, Convention
Realize hours have elapsed
Start once again with a blank page
Repeat cycle whenever inspiration strikes
This is me more than I like to admit when it comes to my own work. It happens to the best of us, right? :3

You forgot:
Post the work
Want to change a word . . . .
