The Writing Process

In the writing process there's always at least one magical moment. That moment is usually when you first get an idea about what to write about. Then begins the torturous task of trying to convert that cerebal spark into something that people will understand and appreciate.

Sometimes you can struggle for what seems to be an eternity on this conversion. What's worse is that sometimes you have to come to the horrible conclusion that it just isn't going to happen.

As a fellow writer once put it as the opening line in a novellete, "Sometimes, things are better left unsaid." And this is one of those times.
