Writer’s “block” …

by Pamela Poston

j0321042.jpg

whatever THAT is! For me, it is a total lack of things to say … no energy to research to FIND things to say … and feeling totally DETACHED about the whole thing. This is not good for someone responsible for fulfilling a contract. If anyone has an answer for this ailment, please pass along. I am tired of being “stuck’ with nothing to say!

POLITICS - Primary in Indiana and North Carolina on May 6

EDUCATION - Schools will be out for the summer soon. Most colleges are out already.
GRADUATES - Class of 2008 - Degrees, what is next?

MOVIES - Summer fluff, but the popcorn is always good!

TV - HDTV - February, 2009 - no cable for me since 1993, not going to change much at my house.

FAMILIES - Can be very cruel.
GRANDCHILDREN - None… and not any in the picture any time soon.

Gee, still thoughts in my head, now to get them on paper. Here is a website that might help … The Owl at Purdue

    I deal with writer’s block on a regular basis, and with a total of 14 blogs that I write for daily, weekly and bi-weekly it can get overwhelming. It isn’t comforting when you don’t think there is anything going on that can help, either.

    I’d be willing to bet that there are things going on in your own life and all around you that you take for granted but they’d still make for interesting posts. What I do is keep a notebook with me all the time and I make quick notes whenever I see or hear something that I know I could write about. So far, so good.

    Give it a try - I for one really want you to stick around and write more about the rural life, something I aspire to!
