stamina
required
for writers—
dwell with words
the what the how
stamina
to steadily fail,
still try again
what is the shape?
where does it breathe?
convey what needs
to be said?
listen for sounds
that play
listen for echo
listen for what’s
not said

Thank you for this - ‘to steadily fail, still try again’ I’m listening …
Writing poetry, I "steadily" try to ... "fail well" is how I recall one person putting it.
