WRITERS BLOCK
I havn't been in the mood to write.Whether night or day light.I try my bestthen take a rest,paper and pencil in hand.Nothing appears that's grand.Don't know what to do,can't get into the groove,can someone lend me a hand?

| Critique: | I totally agree with what Sharon and Dennis have said :) Writer's block I suppose can hit us anytime and writing can help---simply trying can be a stepping stone that leads you to something wonderful...thinking about things that inspire you--family and your recent trip to Germany could also help...Sharon have already pointed out the typo's (also maybe day light should be one word?), what you've written here is pretty good, considering you're not in a mood to write---hopefully inspiration strikes soon. |

| Critique: | Call me an echo...I say let your trip to Germany and your grandson Landon to write. Of course, when you have writer's block, it's really difficult to call upon inspiration to do its magic but once you just think of them, perhaps the words will just take form and from there you'd probably be surprised there's already some form of poetic lines or a story taking shape. Sometimes the words just seem to jump at you, so I think there should be no worries there. I like it how you were able to write something about this all too common thing that ails us sometimes (or perhaps most of the time for some, like me!) in a relatively smooth rhyme at that! I think everyone can totally relate to this one. Thanks for sharing this, Diane. And welcome back! :) |

| Critique: | Hi Diane, First of all, what better way is there to break your writer's block than to write about it? It's a great step forward, being able to put your frustration into words, and you did that successfully here. I agree with Dennis, you have a beautiful new grandson and maybe Landon will be your inspiration to start writing again. It could be a lullaby for him, or a children's story, an acrostic of his name, or a poem about your feelings when you first saw him. The most important thing is not to panic or try to force it, just let it happen naturally. Make a note of words/feelings as they come into your head, even if it's just two words. Most of my poems start from a small phrase or even two words, almost like a little seed that somehow grows. Back to this write, I really enjoyed your rhyming and flow in this little poem. Just a couple of typos - the title needs an apostrophe - 'Writer's Block' and in the first line the contraction of have not should be haven't. I hope you get some helpful tips, but I do think you just broke your writer's block ;) Good luck & thanks for sharing this one with us. |

| Critique: | Just a tip. You took the time to write this, how were the feeling when when you first held you grandson, write about how it made you feel or how most grandmothers feel when their child gives them a new child, just a thought. Den |
