Spellbound (1945)
As part of my ongoing ambition to be a 1940s screenwriter, I have re-watched Hitchcock’s Spellbound. Of course, he is the master of suspense. During the 1940s and 1950s Hitchcock used his years of experience in the film industry to direct some of the most thrilling and frightening films of the era. They are full of heightened emotions, conflict and twisted plot-lines.

Well if that isn't relatable as a Creator then I don't know what is!!! Well said Brenton!!
Oh MY!!! Wowsers Brenton, that's AMAZING! Sending you some extra "Woo-hoos" and heartfelt congratulations for the top story!
I think I heard this song back in the eighties...🤔

Writers block what else i# there to say Congratulations
Congratulations on achieving top story status!
Nice work on your top story Brenton! Have a good one!
Congratulations on Top Story🎉🎉🎉
Yes. That last line is exactly it. I've been feeling it myself. I'm glad you got this out though. Congrats on the TS.
Most relatable poem ever!
This was me today! Great poem!!
Gosh this sums me up today! Awesome form here. The chaotic structure to it, the surprising rhyme, all make it super inviting to read, and very vivid to imagine all the "wrong" circumstances. Good on you, turning the block into a worthy, fun poem. :D
♥️♥️♥️😢 love this you captured the feeling so well
Fantastic!!! Agree with Dharrsheena. So relatable and entertaining!° Loved it!!!💕❤️❤️ Congratulations on Top Story!!!❤️❤️💕
Glad to see this on the front page...this awesome not writing exercise! Very relatable in many ways!
Great job of not writing!
Strangely, my favorite part of this poem was the "{static}". I loved how you put this audio in my head while reading your poem.
So, what are you up to? 🥴. You’re in my alley friend, welcome you're on fire
This is catchy.
I can’t write When my brain puts up a fight I can’t write when words blur in my sight But I can read Your every planted seed Sympathize with your stated need To your insanity still pay heed So.. Glad I am your words to read
My brain is on vacation today. Words? What words?"
This certainly was very relatable! I'm at the mercy of Mr Brain so if he's bothered by any of those that you've mentioned, I can't write, lol
Haha, the nonsense never leaves my head! This is such a writer's dilemma, I swear. But if this is you not writing then wow, keep it up!
I'd add "I can't write...when conditions are too perfect" to a list like this!
