Sometimes Writing Is Difficult

Introduction

It is ironic that I am writing yet another piece about not being able to write.

The music is "Roadblock" by Big Brother & The Holding Company with Janis Joplin

This Is Why

It's bad enough when you have no inspiration or ideas, but I have two stories that I want to write but I feel that I can't. One is because it is far too dark and creepy and I would be likely to put even more readers off my work, and the other is something that I cannot even broach on Vocal.

I know there are two challenges, but I view the Acrostic "In Eclipse" as something I should not enter, though I have already done seven entries which is far too many, I feel (that is just me, I am not judging others who are finding a rich vein of inspiration in this challenge, so all power to them). The "Just A Minute" one is another possibility, but I always look for a different angle and most readers don't get on board with that, because my angles are far too different.

As I am writing this, I am listening to some music and running some jobs at work, and things are running round in my head. I was considering a review of the excellent "Wreck" on the BBC, but while this is a brilliant series, it is full of black comedy and graphic violence, but I am looking forward to series three, but don't think I can seriously write a review.

Sometimes writing a villanelle or a microfiction gets me out of my creative rut and I have decided that with that thought I have a way out.

Conclusion

I know how lucky I am to be able to find a way to create, even when I feel like I do today.

There will be no challenge entries but there will be something positive flowing from my fingers.

The very fact that I have written and published this has made me feel so much better. If you feel the same way I hope this gives you an idea or two.

Thank you for reading this and for putting up with me.
