What Makes Writing Easy (Journal 2)

Writing is easy when I have a pen in my hand or a keyboard beneath my fingertips, a strong sense of purpose and audience, and a fresh idea.  I have always loved writing; it has come easy to me, and I have received praise (in the form of grades or grade-school writing contest awards) for my writing.  As long as I know what I am writing and for whom, I am usually able to use that sense of purpose and audience as a springboard.  From there I am free to fall through the air of the whispered sounds of words and into the waters of thoughts and ideas which surround me and fall away like droplets as I surface.
