Writer's Bloc, Or Is It "Block"?
Posted September 24, 2008
http://radnichole.wordpress.com/2008/09/24/writers-bloc-or-is-it-block/I have an essay in mind. In fact, it's in heart, probably even soul; but I cannot write it today. Just one of those things. An experience occurs and one wishes to lay it "all out there" because it might click with someone else. But.
Yes, "but". "But" one also knows that the power, the emotion, the concern she will not get it right, not that it would be wrong, "but" just too much, too soon, hangs like a vulture over the process of placing words in formations that will be both understandable to others and worth the writing for herself.
Maybe not so much writer's block as just a writer blocked by herself from writing about her own heart, her own experience. What does one give? How much is too much and how much isn't quite enough? How many will read and come away with the exactly opposite feeling than she wanted to convey? *sigh*
