Writer’s Block

[tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com]
Fresh page, new start

Story told from the heart

Words fail, don’t fit

Throw away what’s writ.

Fresh page, start again

White space, idle pen

Verbs, nouns don’t knit

Throwaway what’s writ.

Fresh page, another try

Plot, theme, wave goodbye

Bright idea not lit

Throw away what’s writ

Best seller, sure-fire hit?

Can’t read what’s not writ.

    Love it, Nettie. You’ve summed it up well – but you certainly didn’t have writer’s block for that one! Maria x

    This is excellent! The last line, “Can’t read what’s not writ.” perfectly encaptures the challenge a writer faces — this line will definitely stick with me.

    Love it Nettie! So so true and as Moses485 said, the last line sums it up brilliantly.
