Writers Block

Writers Block

A Poem by Empress Ophelia
"

The need to urgently write something to try to figure out the puzzle, but you still can't put the pieces together.

"

I need to write

I need to write

I think of ideas far back behind the tropicals,

Common Lady

I'm trying to write The Chronicles.


I think I-

I think I have a case of writer’s block.


The tangerines cuddle around my sweet tooth,

The cold water feels good down my throat.

But is that really something to write about?

I know that half the world is under water-

And the other half is in a drought.


I think I-

I think I have a case of writer’s block.

This has charm, and it has humour (great use of absurdity), and really captures the oddity and plague that is Writer's Block! I much enjoyed this, especially the everywhere-at-once vibe to it. Very well constructed, and very well done! Much enjoyed this.

don't you just hate writers block? I get it off and on, but usually I can just pick up a pen and write.

I know that feeling of a 'Writers' Block'. You perfectly capture here what most writers go through. The poem is full of truth. Most humans make use of their thinking capacity, applying it to many projects that require critical thinking, data analysis, self realization and artistic creativity.
So we do often struggle to get writing straight away sometimes.
However, in my personal experience, I learnt to get a title about any subject and work around that by brainstorming ideas with paper and pen.
That way I treat it as a discipline, a focus, that can get me writing straight away.
So the best thing to do, to overcome 'writers' block, is to take your paper and pen, develop a concept, work on the content and put it into context; writing the ideas over and over as they come; and before you know it, you're flooded with so many ideas to get you writing (knowing that your thoughts have been in your mind in the spirit, through your blessed intelligence, inquisitive nature and proactive natural tendency, to pay the body services due to it, a miracle happens everytime you manifest your thoughts in the physical sensual reality).

WEll Done!!
