Backing up

I have become very frustrated with, yet very relieved by, the backspace key lately.

What a handy little button: it reworks a thought, changes a topic, removes an awkward sentence and eliminates punctuation used too soon. It allows time for inspiration and motivation, provides opportunity to start over and postpones an entry.

It alleviates the fear of not writing well. And therein lies the frustration and relief of backing up.
