#breaking the block

[my-shields-are-down]

WRITER’S BLOCK IS REAL .

Anyone have suggestions for breaking its grip?

[liccy]

 The Horned Statue just wants to be acknowledged, it just needs to learn how to do it politely. Seriously! At least ask before stealing someone's vitality.

Breaking The Block Contest

I asked you guys to help me by sending me some prompts and said that I would pick one and write a one shot about it. 

But they were all so awesome I couldn’t pick one.

So.

You get a one shot! 

You get a one shot! 

Everyone gets a one shot!!!!!!!!

Now that I’ve finally accomplished my goal of finishing all of these, I’m going to be taking a hiatus from writing on Tumblr. (Do not fret, my pets. I’ll still be writing sarcastic comments and replying with inappropriate gifs constantly) I have a lot going on in my personal life, and I also have some personal projects that I’m working on that require all my creative attention right now. 

I just want to thank you all for being so amazing and supportive of all my writing. This community is really so unbelievable. You guys have really made me feel worthy and encouraged me in ways you will never even begin to understand. 

xoxo,

My first full-length collection Submerged(forthcoming, ELJ Editions, 2018), came about from a nasty case of writers block and meeting the right reader at the right time. Of course I had the urge to write, I just had nothing to write about. I would sit at my computer and think of nothing. For hours and days. Everyone runs into this, but I didn’t expect my writers block to turn into something…

Pro Tips: Writing Your Thesis

Google "Timer," which will bring up a basic timer. Its automatically set for 5 min. Hit start. Start writing. Don't stop until the timer is done. It doesn't matter if its good, spelled correctly, grammatically correct or even logical,just get those thoughts out. Preferably about your thesis but if not still, get them out. You'll get there.  After Five min, stop, unless you're on a roll, in which case keep rolling until you stop naturally. Then you go back, re-read what you read, do a loose amount of organizing. Think about your next first sentence. Reset the timer, start it, and write that sentence. Keep going from there.  Rinse and repeat until your brain is swimming and you need a break, or until you're done.  Which ever comes first.

Comets

If I understand my physics correctly All items No matter how big Or small Are always being pulled towards each other It varies through their size and distance apart But they are always moving towards each other Yesterday I saw In a sudden flash of vision restored Two comets, bright as stars They flew through the night Towards each other, but not quite And when they passed each other They pulled one another And they turned Now there are two comets Bright as stars Going somewhere else Somewhere they weren't going And I realized, through my sleepless haze That once, in another time I've seen this happen in people

It's been weeks since the nights of meaningless sex; and I admit that I'm messed up, still, but casting you aside and gripping my pen- cil between gritted teeth is just something that I've got to do.

Angsty self-serving poetry irks the shit out of me, so I'll stop.

'It's not poetry, it's just shit and you're just bitching.'

Ano.
