The Hamlet Project

I’ll set something down.
Put one word on the paper to start with even if I don’t have another to follow it. I’ll make at least one mark and then the next might just follow on.
Sometimes I can sit and stare at the page, waiting for something to come to me – especially with this Hamlet Project. I’ll look at the line and think about it and little bubbles of thought will rise and sometimes I’ll seize one.
And then sometimes there’s nothing and I feel like I could stare out the window for an hour before anything occurs to me. I could feel that about to happen today – perhaps due to the sheer amount of possibilities in a line like, “And now I’ll do it.”
So I just did it – instead of standing at the threshold waiting.
