Writers Block

We all suffer from this annoying affliction. Writers block can be challenging, like a junkie’s addiction. A good garbage ink can do wonders for the soul. Attaining perfection is not usually the goal. Whether they are words of wisdom or a description of nature. Some write about politics or their divine creator. Try something different, try something new. Keep forging ahead through the poetry blues. Some words will flow and some will not. It’s not the end of the world just work with what you’ve got. Take a look around, soak it all in and grow. Your muse will return and show you it’s glow. When you least expect it, your words will just flow. Don’t ever think that you’ve reached your plateau. Your block will let loose of its stranglehold. Your muse will come back with more words of gold.

Words of Wisdom! Writers block - it attacks us all and our helpful muse needs a rest sometimes - will be back soon, but a very good poem considering you have writer's block - well penned Mark, Blessings, Jennifer.

The dreaded block aghhhhh. We all get it but you're right we only have to look about us and focus on something and ideas soon flow. Tried force writing, it didn't work for me. Tom

The trick is to "try something new." I especially liked this line "Keep forging ahead through the poetry blues."

Good advice. It afflicts all writers at every level I suspect. The best we can do is persevere and as you say try something new.
