Shaun Hick, author of the young adult novel "The Ghost and Its Shadow," once said, "Nothing listens as well as a blank page." If you've spent any time as a writer, you know exactly what he means. It listens and listens, and at some point, even seems to mock you. But then, it relents and fills up with words. Sometimes they are crappy words. But the beauty of writing is that you can follow up with editing, molding, and taming those words into something meaningful, wonderful, and magical. So don't give up when the blank page listens. We've all been there, and more than likely will be there once again.
