A note on writers block

I got a PM from someone requesting that I use the mature audience label on my works that required them. I actually appreciated the suggestion as I sometimes forget this is a family site and I'm well, me. Anyway I promised I would so I will when appropriate. I thought titles like "Oral Sex Senryu" and "A Senryu about licking a Vagina" was warning enough but I hadn't considered parental controls. So for that I apologize. This brought to mind my current issue with writers block. I have several half written works that I'll likely never publish as are to vulgar, violent, subject matter I don't wish to air on the WC or just plain crap. So I'll probably keep doing little piddly s**t like I've been doing (excluding Palm Beach Girl. I actually worked on that piece) until I come up with something. Thank you for all your support and great works. You guys absolutely amaze and delight me with your talents, poems and prose. We are a great crew. HOORAH!

What's the minimum age for the cafe? There may be a few sheltered 13 year old kids that are clueless, but otherwise... Whatever. I use the mature rating because I don't want to get into comments with a youngster - that's just weird and creepy. Of course, they could lie about their age to read everything. I say, do what you want.

[Baby Ricochet]

Yeah, they do. The little uns know how to get around the ratings no problem. We just want to feel like we're doing the right thing

Well Baby, I have to admit there are certain of your poems I choose to not read but the titles are my warning.. that said, I honestly believe you have something a lot of poets don't have: the rare ability to express much with few words, and produce great work. Your honesty is refreshing.
I'm looking forward to reading many more~

Thank you Patricia

I figure I'll have to take into account your advice on the filtering as well, because I have a wide range of writing styles, one of which, happens to be, comedy and so, your note is helpful. "I keep my pen up my a*s, that's why all my writing is s**t." This is also, a form of writers block, ;-))

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Astro

[Michael G.]

Good points, here. Your writing is always honest and upfront.
At least, when you write about something, you know exactly what you are writing about. And it is, exactly what it is with no punches pulled. Keep on writing, sir... in the style that is you.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Mr G

Hunny, it's become a reality that the real poets on here and you can include yourself in that, are being shielded because their work is ground breaking. By all means use the maturity level, but never, ever be sorry for you work.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Thomas. I appreciate you're input

[Baby Ricochet]

We really are a family of great writers, of all ages and sexual preferences! Considerate of you to take this precaution Mark, fcking hate writers block, I guess my advice would be to take it easy. Don't force the words out or they will most likely feel false to the reader. Enjoy each word, taste it on the tip of your tongue as oral sex and delve right into it when you feel comfortable!

[Baby Ricochet]

LOL. Love the oral sex analogy. Will do Willow. Thanks for the advice

[Marie]

Is is possible that some people are naive enough not to know what "oral sex" and "vagina" mean?

[Baby Ricochet]

That's pretty vaive

[Baby Ricochet]

Naive that is

[Pete Langley]

You`re a great guy yerself, man. As a sometime writer for fifty odd years, I have to tell you that you would not believe the amount of crap I`ve turned out ...but that`s part of the process, Mark. What you mustn`t do is put pressure on yourself to produce - that`s counterproductive. It`ll come ...the bad stuff pulls the good stuff out. P.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Pete. That's some sound advice
