Once again Wednesday has come and gone without me writing a story. It's not because I do not know what I want to write, the story is inside my head. It's not because the words are uninspiring - this week David M Gascoigne has given us the following 10 words (published at Elephant's Child):
Aghast
Snivel
Beautiful
Magnanimous
Frogmarch
Spoonfeed
And/or
Shoulder
Knot
Frenzy
Wicket
Wriggle
Visible
If those words are not inspiring, I don't know what is.
But still - every time I begin writing, I can't find the words to describe what I want to say. I keep on hoping that tomorrow ...
I am still hoping, and maybe tomorrow will be the day. Until then, go to Elephant's Child's blog and read all the good stories everybody else have written.

Blogger is still randomly putting comments in spam-jail. I promise to free them as fast as possible.
I am hoping that your muse plays nicely with you soon. So very much.
SvarSletThank you. I'm impatient as well.
SletI had no clue, either... Sometimes the words speak to one and sometimes they don´t... And as it´s supposed to be fun we should just take it as it comes, right.
SvarSletYou got 100 points, btw :-)
Of course you're right, but it's a bother when you have a story inside your head and it won't go onto the paper. A kind of word-constipation. Sigh.
SletThanks for the points. I have had 6 children of my own, so I read 'Childish' ;)
I'm like you, I see the words but I don't know what to do with them. It's nice to have a break sometimes in writing.
SvarSletHave a lovely day.
Sometimes you just have to write, and write some bad, ucky stuff to get to the good under it. Do what you need to, take a break or write bad stuff and shred it, but just don't give up. Not because we need a story, but because you have some great ones in you that have to come out.
SvarSletNo need to rush a story, just let the words simmer a while, something will come.
