Following through from Monday’s dVerse challenge on writer’s block, which is an interesting topic, and a less interesting experience, though mine have been few and very short lived.
“If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do don’t just stick there scowling at the problem.” Hilary Mantel
Punctuated Tight
At 7.30 something was brewing strong, but it slid into white space at the edge of my mind, a word intermittently blinked as my wiring fizzled, shorting out at 7.35 and my distended sigh was a moan of grief for the lost sentence, words, unfound, blurring into the grey distance , my muse was mute lost in a deep, foggy, field somewhere, I don't know where, no scheme or rhyme occurred, no stanza arose, I was punctuated tight and ungrammared long, the full-stop appeared as a welcome revelation, that all had ceased, my literary boat becalmed.

It will be a while. I just got accepted into a new apartment and it’s a big change for me—guess I’m more set in my ways than I like to think😂

When my literary wiring fizzles, I flip the circuit breaker so I don’t burn down the house and go to bed.

Invariably, when I get up the next day, the answer to the block is right there in front of me.

Oh, when that thought comes, that fantastic phrase… and then, before you can capture it, fizzles out. *sigh* Very relatable, Paul 🙂
