RE: The Dull Predictability of Writer's Block

in #writing6 years ago

Heya, thanks for checking in :) Poetry can definitely feel like a beast unto its own - I've started so many pieces and, like you say, they basically just come out like 'talk', all ideas and no style. It's a fine line to walk and I guess I'm a little off balance at the moment.

I do write fiction on and off as well and have dipped into the freewrites on occasion, although even that has been a bit difficult as of late. I end up staring at the prompt for ages and then just giving up, haha. Everybody's their own worst critic and I suppose I've been a bit harsh on myself. Just going to take things slow for now and maybe try some different things.

I can relate to the cat comment all too well, haha, I have an all-white one and the Summer moult has been fierce this year ;)

I'm still quietly hopeful for Steemit, maybe more so for the underlying currency itself and not necessarily this platform... Hope you're having a good Sunday!

So true. I'm no poet, but do have several short, humor poems I'm 'dabbling about with' to go with a couple photos, that have been on the burner for months. Definitely a horse of another hoof compared to writing, when it comes to finishing something up with any hint of panache anyone would want to read. I'm hoping sooner or later, some inspiration will fall out of the sky and bonk me on the creative noggin. I hope.
Seems you would be an excellent writer of story....as you say, maybe try that until it starts falling from the sky again.
I'm hopeful for all aspects of Steemit. I think it's a large part of my creative life right now. And money is always nice to have.
