Writer's block
everyone gets it at some point
Wringing my brain, but the cursor still flicker
Put words on paper, don’t hesitate nor trigger
A state of the yips
As the quill to ink dips
And soon at writing you’ll be better

The Seventh Step
“It’s a different room every time. Sometimes it’s my grandma’s house from when I was little. Sometimes it’s my college apartment. Sometimes it’s somewhere unfamiliar, but always there are the stairs. I know I have to go up, but I’m afraid. I can feel my heart pounding and I feel sick, but I don’t know why. It’s like my body isn’t mine anymore, and I start up the stairs, and I’m thinking ‘No, stop!’ but I just keep going. When I get a ways up, I try to take another step but, instead, I fall backwards. I can feel myself in the air, just in a panic, nothing to hold on to and no way to stop, just falling, falling, falling until THUMP! And then I wake up.”

This short poem offers a concise and encouraging message for writers who may struggle with writer's block or self-doubt. The use of rhyming and imagery helps to convey the idea of the challenge of writing, but also the potential for improvement and progress with persistence and practice.Well done👍👍🙏
