You can’t wait for the perfect space

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

I’m writing in an airport

Waiting for a flight.

Tapping as per usual

On my trusty phone.


More often I‘ll blog from my bed

Or soon as I am up

Anywhere there‘s time and space

And I won’t be disturbed.


If I wait for inspiration

It’s likely I‘ll not write

I knock stuff out quite quickly

And hope it is alright.


So waiting for the perfect space

Just wouldn’t work for me.

Sitting in the perfect place

No creativity.


So all you get‘s this silly verse

My novel‘s still unwritten.

The only time my words spill out

Is when they are unbidden.


I used to want the perfect desk

A perfect book filled room

The very best equipment

For jotting ideas down.


You can’t wait for the perfect place

It never will quite come

And if it does well writer‘s block

Could be the sad outcome.


You’ll still stare at an empty screen

Despite your working place

So never mind the perfect time

Just get those ideas down.

One thought on “You can’t wait for the perfect space

  1. I really enjoyed the flow and spontaneity of this! 👌
    Indeed, waiting for perfection is likely to result in paralysis. It’s better to make do with whatever we have.
