The Purple Lady
I don't really identity with the concept of writer's block because if I don't know what to say, I default to writing about not being able to write. There's actually a poem in This Phoenix Speaks for proof. Look it up. You might break your writer's block trying the exercise out!

Write. Just write. Keep writing. Read other writing: books, poems, blogs, newspapers, magazines. And then think and write.
The Purple Lady
As I look back, I've loved writing ever since I learned how. But I began writing poetry in earnest in high school. My high school English teacher, Mrs. Martin, taught with passion and wisdom, and I was shaped by her ability to convey intellectual things with literature. She taught me the power of a story.
