Beginnings.

Beginnings are the hardest part of writing. I look down at the page before me, unable to see the words that I know hang just below the surface. I stare, as if pretending to see them will make them appear. The paper, of course, wins this staring match and continues to hold its secrets. I put down my pencil, hand unwilling to move, and stretch. Beginnings are the hardest part of writing.
