<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People often ask me why I write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDante,\u201d they beg. \u201cWhy do you write?\u201d \u201cWhat inspires you?\u201d \u201cWhat compels you?\u201d \u201cHow are you able to maintain such a consistently high quality of output, particularly during these unprecedented times?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to these people, I say: If you cut me, I bleed ink. My skin is parchment. My eyes are full stops. My ears are question marks. My fingers are em-dashes. My toes are en-dashes. My colon is a colon. My head and body are an upside-down exclamation mark (if my arms are flat by my sides and my legs are together).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, I am not just a writer. I am writing<\/em>. Writing is me<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any moment when I am not writing is physically painful for me. It is agony. I am a fish out of water, flapping around, gasping for my pen or iPad. Take them away, and I am an astronaut sans oxygen, lost amongst the stars, drifting to my death like George Clooney in the movie Space Jam<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lockdown has has been a gift. It has given me unlimited access to oxygen (writing time). Free from the shackles of \u2018socialising\u2019, of \u2018friends\u2019, \u2018family\u2019 and \u2018loved ones\u2019 \u2014 those wicked forces conspiring to prise the pen (or iPad) from my hand \u2014 I have been able to write, write and write, and write. And it feels so write<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember: Write what is right and what is left will be great writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, I would like to share a poem I have been writing for the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. It is a work in progress, and I confess it has been slightly difficult to find words to rhyme with Markle \u2013 I suspect one word may have sent me off on a minor tangent, but I believe the inspiring message of this poem shines through regardless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ode to Meghan Markle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
