Have you ever?
Have you ever gone fishing in an empty lake?
You cast your line out knowing nothing will bite.
Have you ever stared at a blank piece of paper?
waiting for the sign to put the pen down.
Have you ever had your fingers hoover over keys?
wondering which finger will drop to start you off.
Have you ever sat in a room and want to scream?
because the noise drowns out your thoughts.
I have.
It's time to take a walk.

The lake has been empty for me for years so anything I write that's new is a fluke. I walk a lot, but the words don't automatically appear. They come out of the blue. A word, or an idea may pop up but it takes so long.
This is a good poem I'm sure a lot of people can relate to, fia.

Dont force it. The quality will most certainly suffer for it. If Im not feeling it, I just don't write. Its an outlet, not a job.
Good Job Fia

We all have been there, the dreaded writer's block. Writing about it has helped me out of it.
Great piece, Fia xox
