Is There a Laxative For Writer's Block

There are many ideas floating in my mind. Subjects to write about are easy to find. However, they do not seem to come out the right way. I do not know the correct things to say. I want to thoroughly describe each literary caper. They do not appear the way I want them on paper. For any writer, this is a dire situation. Is there such a thing as “writer’s constipation? Right now, I feel almost like an imbecile. Will ideas come out if I used Ex-Lax or Metamucil?

Too funny, Robert - the poem, not the blockage. I understand where you are coming from as I'm having the same problem. Love, Kim

Try a half-gallon of prune juice that will do it..That happens sometimes then that sight, sound, scent or event that triggers the thoughts and emotions that sets one free to let it pour onto the pages..Enjoyed reading this morn..Thanks for stopping by my blog..I appreciate the time spent there..Sara
