Writer's Block Revisited

I didn't even know we had a national poetry month...can you believe it? Sorry I missed this, maybe before I followed you. Up and sharing.

That happens to me but my sign says, Out to Lunch. Oh well, loved the poem.

Very beautiful and interesting. A fascinating angle on writer's block.

What a fantastic Hub..

Audrey, loved this since I reside in this creative hinterland at the moment..gggrrrr! But you went looking and made this poem, creativity out of frustration!

Voted up n shared.

gift of my ailment, no writer's block. well written - thank you

lol...try the roof and gaze at the stars...be mesmerized by the awesome wonder of the cosmos...

We've all had days like this when it feels like the doors are locked.

Just great Audrey. Love your work. Up and awesome. :)

Are you sure? doesn't sound like "naught"

Writers block Audrey and you still write fantastic stuff!

Loved it!

Somewhere along the line, I began to identify such times, not just related to writing, but to all the many things which seem to skid to a standstill - no, worse than standing still - being suspended, unattached; they became what I recognized as my "Fertile Flux". It was enormously freeing. Once I'd named that 'thing', whenever one of them arose, I could just sort of shrug and say to me, "Oh, it's just one of THOSE." The name really describes it for me, too - it's a hazy 'almost pregnant' uncomfortable sphere of stirring and sorting from which always emerges an idea, a solution, a new outlook - whatever fits the 'vacancy' I'd been feeling. (I also identified "free fall" - not nearly as comforting, but sometimes that occurs, along with 'sudden impact'. :-)

I feel much kinship with you. I found you by noticing my friend, Arb, had followed you. I'm truly glad I did.

This was great; it expresses how I feel at times; eloquently and with real insight of the situation.

From the cobwebs came something creative. Good for you to use it to your advantage. This is great.

Well sometimes my words just flow and I put a poem together in a matter of minutes, other times I struggle for long LOL...I know how you feel Audrey...

Ha! What a clever way you've used, Audrey, to turn the tables on writer's block and use it TO write something; love it!

Very nice play of words for a clever poem.

Well this was pretty excellent - looks like something turned up:)

Very interesting - your writer's block forced some real spot out of your brain, as you have written here! Love it. In His Love, Faith Reaper

Well, Audrey, it seems you've plucked some words out of thin air to create this great piece. I think we all can relate to this frustration which somehow you found a way around! Thanks for sharing this little bit of whimsy. :)

Audrey, I feel for you, I'm going through the same thing.

I enjoyed this one.

Voted up funny and beautiful, Joyce.

We all get that dreaded writer's block. Looks like you unblocked it..Ha.. enjoyed

Audrey you write wonderful poems. It will soon all clear up without a doubt.

I totally understand, I sometimes sit here staring at the screen and yelling, will you give me an idea! lol! great poem, nell

Very clever...when you have writer's block, write about it!

So true... what I have found is to start with just a phrase and build on it and the writers block seems to fade....
