She sits and writes every morning, as soon as she wakes. Words pour from her mind in a jumble that spill to the page, practically without her assistance. They have a desperate need to get out into the world.

The outpouring of her thoughts essential to maintaining rationality within her world. An ability to maintain her sanity and gifting herself with a form of peace.
This drabble has been written as part of the daily Drabble Drop challenge and today's random word, that must be included in the drabble, is 'work'.
Wikipedia defines a drabble as follows :
A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.
