How do you deal with writer’s block?

There are times when writing is easier and times when it is harder. I pace, I take walks, sometimes I talk, or listen to music, go see a movie. Most important, I always try to observe the world around me until I figure what the line needs to work or what imagery to leave behind or make a poem more consistent. I love to write poetry, and I love other things as well. I try not to shoehorn myself into just one thing. I try to pursue everything that I have an interest in. In terms of making art, that helps put space between creation and editorial concerns, which everyone needs: space and time to filter through to the essential. I just have confidence that what I am doing is important, and time will help me figure out what I really need to say within the confines of the page. That precious time is something most people don't feel like they have enough of, which is too bad---sad, really. No has seems to have enough time for what is truly important, for me, that is writing---the act of creation in and of itself, the very opposite of this thing we call, 'writer's block.'(less)

There is something quite powerful about that---as well as a cause for humility in the deepest sense. (less)

A Problem We All Face....

I am sharing this for you.I cannot fool myself

any longer. What's the point of living like this: strangling on your own food, missing a step on the pavement, in the shower stall, being anemic, with emotions just ready to pounce like a bullet towards the heart. This me is so unlike the one before, who I want to/used to be. Well, too bad, self. You need to deal, and move on! You aren't the same, you Read more of this blog post »
