The Words I Do Not Have!
February 7, 2010 | Filed in: Inspiration,Uncategorized

For an extended period of time, I have been influenced by Audre Lorde and her essays. Unsure if it is because of all the new writing deadlines that are emerging compiled with balancing “real world” demands but she has been circling my thought process. Will she ever land and assist me in sorting out all these thoughts? Its as though I have writers block with a tea kettle full of thoughts and nothing is taking true form. What a conundrum! As writers, is the ability to write/express be a luxury with the words and sounds we do not have yet?

Well, I’m not sure who this person Audra Lorde is, but I have had experienced a similar situation. My advice is to write anyway, even if the words don’t come out right at first, they will eventually. I liken it to turning on an old faucet and letting the gunk flow out until the water comes clean.

@Annarkie, thanks for the advice! Its what I usually do to try and siphon the truth form the muck of random thoughts but with these new instances it feels like that I would be writing for writing sake. My OCD in my writing endeavors always leaves me stressed and thinking that I’m not saying anything meaningful. But, you are correct, we should just write anyway and see what comes out. Thanks ever so!

I am going through this right now and need something to get the creative juices flowing. I think it is the demands of the “real world” caving in on me that I can not get into the zone. I will try and keep going.
Thanks!

@LaNeshe, Amen! If someone out there could find a cure for it, I think I would pay out the nose for an once. But, I have been putting more focus on the writing the randomness that swarms in my head in hopes to flush out something meaningful. Give that a whirl if you have a few moments to spare and let me know how it turns out. I always think that other people’s thoughts are pretty groovy.
