In the world of writing, the task of completion is a daily one. Whether it is for journalism, creative writing, poetry, non-fiction, or any other category, there is a requirement when it comes to getting things done. In having to stick to due dates, the completion process is hurried. Sometimes the work of completing our projects, tasks, and assignments requires us to move through time, in a rushed state. After all, we want to be on time for our work. There is nothing more fulfilling than knowing you are a writer, who is able to get their work in, on time! Yet, there is a quality question needing to be addressed. Is the on time work, of quality? Note that there is a huge difference between being sufficient and of a certain quality. Sufficient translates as having what is needed. That is the difference. It does not always translate into quality.
One of the challenges of being a writer is our ability to maintain the art of quality with time. The work must be done. There is no doubt about that. Yet, even with the quickness of completing assignments and due dates, there is a necessity in ensuring that rushed words are just as nutritious, as the ones we have to take our time with. There is a particular energy, associated with being able to move quickly into writer’s completion, while doing it with the richness it deserves. Regardless of us doing it for a job, or as a hobby, writing is still sacred. It will always be sacred. Therefore, it must be treated with the care and docility it deserves. It doesn’t matter if you have to rush through it, or not. What matters is that you have to go through a particular journey in mastering the power of writing swiftly and artistically. Few are able to master that!

One of the things, which limits our ability to move swiftly, and nutritiously, is that we are not given the opportunity to evaluate what is going on, internally. Are we in balance, or out of control, as it pertains to our emotional and spiritual psyche? Do we make sure to go through our spiritual cleansing each and every day, before we get to work? What allows for us to move through our writing projects, in a way that is nutritious, regarding our writing tasks, is when we are in our natural element. That is very true! Are we centered? That’s another important question, needing to be asked!
