Courage, Pico. You need to write, you want to write, so write. Don't defer it. Don't defer it again, because that's too easy.

Yes, you might feel more in a writing mood Friday. Sure, it'll maybe come easier then, maybe. But if it doesn't, you gonna just sit down, "oh I can't" for a few hours, and then leave it for Monday? Monday's nearly a week away. And if Monday doesn't work? Wednesday? There's a vacation coming up. What work will you do so you can Olinscarr in the evenings? It won't be easier.

So just do it. Fuck doubt. Just write what comes to be written. And if it doesn't come, drag it kicking and screaming. Or persuade it. Or put out a trap. Or just damn sit in front of the screen and write what seems closest to the right thing, and then edit it, next time, into the right thing.

I am so fucking tired of things dragging out, and putting off. I have the edges of ideas, and I can smash them into the right thing eventually. I am so fucking tired of that, and want my easy-right answers back.

(It's not always going to be easy.)

(There is no perfect time.)

(Just do it.)

(Fuck doubt.)

(You can write whatever you want.)
