kick in the pants

Still a struggle.  The words do not flow from my fingers in the urgency of expression; not even as a force of habit.  Impeded by the formality of craft, my list of excuses grows long.  I am hard on myself, but only because I'm lazy - seemingly in all things.  Procrastination becomes the motivator.  Some come out of the gate blazing, I break late.  Sprint to the finish, my father always said.  I never realized that it helps to run fast the rest of the time too.
