I'm not a good writer 
 
 

blue IMG_0569 2.jpg

Every idea is the derivative of a previous one.
Everything comes from something else. Nothing new under the sun.
The iPhone was not the first smartphone. It was better done. 
Ford was not the first car. But more affordable and fun.

I don't pressure myself to create something totally new. 
Creativity is connecting an idea with another one—or a few.
And to find them I search and search, I read, I think. 
Often staring at a blank screen and the cursor's blink. 

I'm a researcher! Mining through endless lines of text. 
Digging for inspiration brings me to a thought—and the next.
Sometimes ideas pour out—a lot of them bad. 
I need to weed them out until a good one shows its head.

Am I a builder? Putting blocks together for alphabetical architexture? 
Maybe a lingo juggler? A poetic puzzler or word wrestler. 

I know I'm restless in my brain trying to untie the knots. 
I'm not a good writer. I'm just here connecting the dots.
