Sudoku Sitting Still 

Why can I not sit still when asked to write a short story? For a group exercise, not for publication. No pressure.

Sit down, stand up. Move around. Change rooms, again. Drink water. Go to the loo. Turn on the stereo. Do sit ups!

Only when I'm attempting a Sudoku (and the one published in Saturday's West was a doozy) can I sit still.

I've decided that creativity must need movement. But I can Sudoku sitting still.

I have never gotten into Soduku or even cross-words. As for short stories, my mood changes.

If I'm writing because I feel I have to write, it take a few forced paragraphs to get going.

But there are times when I don't write for a period, but leave an idea welling around in my head. It is when the story is bursting out of me, when I can't seem to stop.
