Ready, Set, Done: Ten minutes to perfection?

Our weekly free-write is back: take ten minutes — no pauses! — to write about anything, unfiltered and unedited. You can then publish the post as-is, or edit a bit first — your call.

If I had all the time in the world,
If I had not a single deadline,
If I had all night and day
To sleep, to think, to ruminate.

Nothing, and I mean, absolutely nothing,

Would be perfect as it is, as it was, as it could be.

There’d always be room,

For improvement, for correction, for addition.

So when you tell me,

I have just ten minutes to let it flow,

free hand or type hand,

I can but respond thus:

“I could always do better without being bitter,

but this is good enough.

For you…

And for me too…”
