She could feel the fire that had spurred her on to write in the first place, the same fire that demanded to be nurtured. She saw the article's message, her message, resonating with a readership.

She reached for her phone, determined to rectify the situation. It was a simple correction. Her words were still there. And she would write again, even better than before. Her words were waiting to be born.
