    • The pen will let you know when it wants to say something….

    • Hoi hoi
      A real block is horrible.
      And I don’t contradict Peter.

      It is, in my opinion, far more complex. It could very well be that the waiting caused the block. One of the serious causes could be an overdose of possibilities. And maybe I can help there.

      In ‘songwriters in the kitchen’, I’ve run a longer series of focus. I know someone whose repertoire consists of 2/5 of music and writes, originating there.
      The forum Titaniced, alas.

      If you want to talk about it, please PM.
      It would be a pity if your work would be nipped in the bud.
      C’mon, don’t be shy…..
      Kind regards, Gus

    • I don’t get anything anymore. I start to write and as long as I make it short I can let it sit there a while and come back to it later. But even then, I feel like I’m empty.

    • Ideas come to me when I have no pen/paper around. Cool poem!

    With Raven Wings

    “You’re a long time dead,” they say.“Sow your wild oats,” they say.“Live today like it’s your last,” they say.“You only live once,” they say.“Throw caution to the wind,” they say.“Go chase those dreams,” they say.“Adventure is worthwhile,” they say.“Take...

    • I sincerely wish the bookmark worked for me, but try as I might it doesn’t. This will be permanently bookmarked in my mind though

      • Thanks for reading and the compliment.
        The Bookmark feature works but not as it should.The Bookmarks are only being stored in your Browser history and when you clear your history you also clear your bookmarks….just saying.💋

    • hello dearest Benny I guess I love our terrible creator because he is terrible like me of me like him…he never leaves me alone though the godly people abandones me right away… you can only do your best and life isn’t a fairy tale I get it with the memories 💕 great write…

    • I wouldn’t mind if we did away with platitudes altogether. It’s entirely too easy for people to quote one of them at you without really thinking of any sort of meaningful response that might better fit the situation.

    • “Love & light” or “positive vibes only” also come to mind. Toxic positivity is a real issue….people have to be able to grieve, to get frustrated and angry and complain on occasion. These are unpleasant things that all humans must experience.

      One of my least favorite to hear is “be yourself”, which too often means “confirm my biased opinions of you”.

    50/50

    My world is Numbers and facts And fitting together An equation for everything Answers, Solutions, A definite way.   My world is stories and letters And vague somewhat shapes Letting things fall where they may Opinions, Feelings, A creative space.   My world is Mixed up and misspelled A jumbled array Two different worlds, one tiny space Questions Some answers This...
