Cambria Body Font
June 3, 2013
Fingers clicked rapidly on keys, an improvised dance with no pattern or repetition. Some days the flurry of ticks is fast with few pauses, the will of someone who knows what they’re doing and how to get there. Other days the typing is slow, lethargic. The clicks come in hiccups, short bursts of thought. Backspace is used more than any other key since everything that is written just doesn’t amount. It is not perfect or precise enough to take the form of Cambria Body font on a blinding white document.

I too have used the subject of writer's block (or lack of it) in poetry. I really liked your word choice, especially "the clicks come in hiccups" and "an improvised dance." Nice job :)
