A line from a speech

I'd been feeling a little down. The world was seeming a little remote and I was feeling lost. So I was sitting at the computer not working and not writing. I decided a watch a speech. The speaker said one line that resonated withing me,

the decision to not try at all

and it caused everything to shift into focus. Not trying is a choice. Not doing is a choice. This scared me enough to begin. I wrote on the manuscript today after a very long time of not doing so. I wrote in sections that I had struggled with, but made no progress before. Today, it worked. Today, I wrote.
