Obstacles
I opened my laptop that evening to write a chapter
of my novella. No words came to me.
“Why am I doing this?” I said to the cat curled up
on my lap. He pretended not to hear.
I opened Twitter, thinking I might find some
inspiration there.
Five minutes later I wanted to hide under the bed. “There
are some scary, scary, people out there,” I said to the cat. He ignored me
again.
Just as I was about to shut my computer and call it
a night, I quote jumped out at me:
“If you find a path with no
obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.”
Frank A. Clark.
“And,” I said, “obstacles might
just be a sign you’re on a path worth traveling.”
I wrote a page and a half about a new
problem my main character had to face.
Today I will know I’m on the right path because of, not in spite
of, the obstacles.
Novella is a work of fiction. Any similarity between the characters
and anyone you might know is purely coincidental.
