Writer’s Block

Trinket on Jun 8, 2009

What some people experience when they have writer’s block.

I scribble and scratch

But I cannot attach

Thinking and blinking

I feel like I’m sinking

What will I write?

In my mind I fight

It has to be good

And not misunderstood

Like a drug I need

over and over I read

I dissect every word

Until it is blurred

As I rub my eyes

I watch the sun rise

What a waste of time

My words do not rhyme

I want it to flow

So the reader’s will know

My words make them feel

Something that is real

But for now I am tense

And cannot make sense

I must lay to rest

And release all my stress

All writers have writers block from time to time. I had one a few days ago. I took a drive with my husband. While he was driving I got inspired by a simple word on a flashing billboard. Read my next article that I wrote after feeling writers block. I seen the word cards flashing on the plaza’s billboard and I wrote about paper thoughts. It should be up for viewing shortly. Have writers block, take a note pad and pencil and take a drive. In no time you’ll be writing and feeling just fine. Happy writing!
