[Solved] Attempt to call nil?

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("===================================================")
term.setCursorPos(1,18)
print("===================================================")
term.setCursorPos(20,2)
print("Desk Text")
newLine()
newLine()
print("What would you like your desk to say?")
newLine()
write("  Input: ")

local input = read()
mon = peripheral.wrap("left")

function centerText(text)
  x,y = mon.getSize()
  x1,y1 = mon.getCursorPos()
  mon.setCursorPos((math.floor(x/2) - (math.floor(#text/2))), y1)
  mon.write(text)
end

mon.clear()
mon.setTextScale(2)
centerText(input)

newLine()
print(" Text is being displayed on the monitor!")

function newLine()
  local _,cY = term.getCursorPos()
  term.setCursorPos(1, cY+1)
end

The error I keep getting is:

desk:8: attempt to call nil

Maybe it's something simple, but I can't see it. It's also 5:33am

Moved to Ask a Pro.

You're trying to use your newLine function before you define it. Simply move your declaration of newLine to the top of your program.

That would make so much sense and of course it fixed my problem. Thank you so much!
