Seer

I've been stuck in this creative rut lately, and with finals approaching, I haven't had anything resembling the time needed to get me out of it. There is always next year. Literally. It's only a few weeks away.

Short, sweet, and beautiful. This is something that'll stick with me for a long while, Seer. You never disappoint. I might need to take a bit to stare at the wall and think, now. You've captured a lot of my feelings exactly here!

Honestly, the hardest part is to keep going, even when it feels like nothing's there and you're penning words down with a pen out of ink. I believe in you, friend, and I promise that these feelings won't last forever.

I'm reminded of when Asimov wrote a personal short story that related to being a writer and one of his peers—Heinlein I think—teased him by saying he was "coining his neuroses".

Asimov responded with something along the lines of, "If not mine, whose neuroses should I coin?"

Write what you know. :twilightsmile:

Me in the past four hours trying to write

God knows I've felt this and thought these thoughts before. And especially this last week or so with NaNo. Writing can be disheartening at times, both before and after something's written down. Sometimes you do just need to walk away. Thank you for writing this, Seer.

I feel the same sometimes. Although that does not stop me from trying to steal the crowns.

A perfect encapsulation of writer's block and the anxiety it creates. I've been there. But with this I think you did write something that matters.

Howdy, hi!

Yeah, white pages *suck*. Seeing something empty before you are always anxiety-driven since you never know what to do with it. Until the first words hit the page, you just have all this possibility and nothing to put down on it. Until you get that ball rolling, it's always "what if" and "how will people react?". Anyways, loved that use of repetition near the end to with the "She" single sentences, that was super well done, and the imagery was definitely super strong in this one.

Awesome read, thank you~!

Because she was writing in her own essence, she was making the strokes and lines of her masterpiece with a very part of her.

Yet the words that you write are as much a part of you.

I loved reading this. Thank you.

As usual, this was a great and visceral depiction of getting stuck in a bad mental state. I can definitely relate to staring at a blank page.
