[00:01.70]	Suppose someone gave you a pen
[00:02.66]	— a sealed solid-colored pen.
[00:04.24]	You couldn't see how much ink it had.
[00:06.65]	It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece
[00:13.17]	（or several） that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things.
[00:17.63]	You don't know before you begin.
[00:19.48]	Under the rules of the game,
[00:20.64]	you really never know.
[00:22.69]	You have to take a chance!
[00:24.23]	Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything.
[00:28.21]	Instead of picking up and using the pen,
[00:30.24]	you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.
[00:35.27]	But if you do decide to use it,
[00:37.00]	what would you do with it?
[00:38.37]	How would you play the game？
[00:39.80]	Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word?
[00:42.88]	Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing？
[00:46.41]	Or would you take the pen in hand,
[00:48.75]	plunge right in and just do it,
[00:51.50]	struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you？
