As I sat here in the Prayer Room this morning, I was reading over some of my older entires as I am wont to do periodically. As I read through some of the entires, I honestly could not believe that I had written them. Did you ever feel as if you had so much to say, but the words were not there to express what you wanted to say? They are there, i your head… but when you try to write them … nothing. It’s like a solid wall of transluscent concrete has been erected between my mind/emotions and my pen (or keyboard). I see glimpes of what I desire to write, but can not get past the wall to write them. Writer’s block is an irritating thing.
Lately, I have felt as if there is a tremendous lack of depth in my entries, and of late, I am loathe to read over my shallow journaling. Gosh, I just want to write something of depth and profundity (yes, that is a word). As my sister and I discussed, sometimes you go through periods of creative dryness. It would be nice, though, if this one would end soon.
I can empathize. It’s easy for me to post pictures or video on my site with very little real content. But you have to remember it’s all integral. I would hate to see your writings pick up only to drown away the only images I have of you and your life, distant friend.
Scrapbook vs. Journal—mine goes back and forth as well. Somewhere in the middle there is a happy marriage.
Oh just to be in a place of being able to write songs, or whatever…let alone in a writers block. So, count yourselves blessed that you can do both things. 😀
I know where your at, trust me. As a song writer I go through periods of time where I just can’t seem to write. It’s usually when I’m in my roughest times when I can’t seem to find the words. Then when there is a brief moment of relief, the words just come. Be encouraged, first comes the experience then comes the revelation 😛
