Writing through the writer's block
Sep. 24th, 2008 10:57 pmI hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.
Don't mind me. I've just lost my mind.
I've been doing my best to combat this ridiculous case of writer's block (which, I actually think is mostly in my head...let's face it, I ramble here A LOT). I was hoping this would help because music is something I like a lot, and I've been thinking of doing this for at least a half a year now. The other thing is to get stuff I've written out there. I hope that some feedback or at least being more confident about what I do write will help me.
And I'm totally skipping out on reading 40 pages tonight. Go me. I read the ten pages I had to to do my assignment. I really need to focus. But I have five essays due next Wednesday. I did have a moment of sorts and attacked my Emerson assignment. That felt good.Oh, don't look at me that way. I AM an English major after all.
So, the first thing we have is a blog I've started. At the moment, the lone entry is about David Cook's new single. However, I'm hoping writing on something I like a lot and am passionate about will help. I feel a low confidence right now, so if it comes across that way in the entries at first, then, yes, that is how I feel. So, if you're interested in something like that, go right ahead and read it. It got kind of rambly, I think. I promise I'll try to work on that.

The second is a journal (okay, I used a community...but, yeah, same difference) where I can post some of the writing I've done. My goal with this is to actually get some feedback on the stuff I am writing. I hope some suggestions, criticism, or something gives me a little push. I know that poem sounds depressing. It's just writer's block for crying out loud. But oh, mon Dieu is it giving me issues. Writing through writer's block...not the easiest or most fun thing in the world, let me tell you.

I honestly think most of it is in my head and that I have a confidence issue with this. We'll see how this goes. You in no way have to feel obligated to visit these. I just thought I'd put them here because people have run into my lj on occasion and commented. Thought it might get it out there a little bit. I'm trying here. I hope something good comes of all of this. I just need to focus and be okay with my writing again.
