Why crawl back out of the dust and doubt after the writing habit is broken? Because I love it, and no amount of distraction can stop me forever

Gag down another mouthful of water - swampy, but I should be grateful after the crossing I just made.
Moaning wind, whispering spinifex - I shudder.
Fuck it. Twitch fingers over my glass and the water becomes #whiskey. I don’t need to be sober again for a while.

She heaved and strained but no longer moved forward. Puzzled, she looked back.
Tethered bags and boxes, strewn years behind her into hazy distance.
She laughed then, shook the #yoke off her shoulders, sold or donated all of it and finally went on that adventure.

Anyone else bemoaning their lack of #writingprogress while thinking about cupcakes suddenly find themselves in a desert with a dust colossus? #amwriting https://t.co/A6LyYMMCiT
I falter on the #verge. Behind me, the suburban house; in front of me the road. I teeter on the blade-fine edge of the decision I’ve tried to make for months.
I don’t know which way to fall. I close my eyes and feel for the direction of the wind.

My #umbra takes the form of a wolf most days What would that reveal about me I wonder?
I know - we aren't supposed to talk about it. But they have a name don't they - what is that for but to use? And she's so beautiful, I want to share her with you, and know yours.

Odd, I can’t feel myself #tremble, but look how the pen jitters in my hand. I am beyond cold, despite the blanket. Brow furrowed now, I steady my right hand with my left, touch the pen to the line, and sign it all away.

It started with my prosthetic leg, realising I could make attachments for every purpose. Now I am a good fraction machine, a #quarter by weight, and no longer sure which parts my soul resides in.

Right there, on the front #page of Google. And likely pages 2 and 3. The image results made her gut heave, trying to purge.
Instead she swallowed and clicked the top link. She needed to know what had been done with her body this time, and how far she needed to run.

@edmund_asher I would so much rather be out of touch with reality but I have the opposite problem right now - my book world feels distant and unreachable. Don’t get me wrong, there’s some great stuff out here, but I don’t have the power of a god over it, so, meh.
Ways to be alternately productive? No... Ah - remembering that people more experienced and successful than me exist, and I should take advantage of that. #amwriting#amlearning#ithelpdeskrant https://t.co/U4GayvZ1l1
I veered a little off-course of #spaceopera but had fun writing my first spaceship fiction: RIcah's Break, or The XT1200 Trooper https://t.co/MtcbSVgoxm

The last hubcap wobbled down the street and the observer, not wanting to pop the resulting #hush, held still until the figure behind the wheel stopped moving. It melted into the background when the emergency vehicles swept in on the return of sound.

Writer's Sin No. 27: putting a hard bit aside and thinking the story will come out by itself while not writing anything at all https://t.co/y4H8cKOND3 #amwriting#progress#myfacehurts#writersins
"You're looking at the problem wrong," she said, "the #glass is simply twice the size it needs to be."
And with that she hooked her backpack over her shoulder, dropped a $20 on the counter to cover her half, and left.

Dead leaves cling and #dew jumps from my tangled hair as I sit up. This is not my bed.
There is no one, no sign or sound of humans. I am surrounded by trees, I suspect, for miles.
I grin though, as I haul to my feet. I’m certainly not going to work today.
