And these last couple of days showcase my eternal problem: ENDINGS! I have no problem beginning a story (or anything else for that matter), continuing, and producing words by the million, but endings, finishings ... not so much.

I know what to write, I know how this chapter will end and where to go from there. The words are fine for that purpose, not super inspiring, but I see where they fit in. I sit myself down to write, and then ... nothing. Blank paper, or screen actually.

I'm so sorry. I hope that something will give, the dam break, or whatever.

  1. If i make myself sit down and write, even drivel, even a shopping list, just the act of writing sometimes opens the floodgates. It might be worth trying.

    Even so, i am willing to wait patiently. Your stories are worth the wait.

    1. I always sit myself down and write a sentence with each of the words. This usually does the trick of overcoming the block. Not this time.
      Thank you for your patience.

  2. I worried myself when I saw the words I'd chosen, I've got a whole notebook of words I liked from books I read.
    Just let them sit in your mind for a while and they will let themselves out eventually, in a story or a poem.

    1. It's not your word being 'bad'. Most words actually are good, only not very modern or sexy words. As I said, I see where they fir in. It's just my creative juices having dried up.
      Thank you for supplying them.
