For setting yourself racing against time, against the speed of your thoughts tumbling through, pouring in granular, perpetual motion. Go. 

Q is for Quixotic, for following dreams and scooping up whims, guesses, ideals, possibilities. Harnessing your attention to the wild-dog-pulled sleigh of your imagination. Go. 

Q is for Quilt, for piecing together disparate scraps into something singular and whole. For the practical warmth of beauty, the community circle of creativity, the recycling of leftovers into vibrant materials for art.

Q is for Quicksilver. Speed and the properties of speed: agility, not stopping. When I say go, write until you run out of ink. When I say go, scribble until your hand cramps. When I say go, unspool the stories gathered inside you, bunched, knotted, twined. 

Q is for Quality, Qualifications, Querying–but let those Qs queue. Right now, you are soaring, speeding, slip-sliding away. Right now you can fly.
