A New Kid on the Block 1/13/2022 9:30:00 AM
Writer's block? There's another kind As with all authors, I fall victim to writer's block, trying for the right word or sentence or thought and just not feeling it. But more often than that I encounter another impediment to writing. For want of a better expression, I'll call it life's block.
It happens when I have my notes and ideas together and am all ready to bat out a page or two or more when there's a ring on the doorbell or an e-mail that needs immediate attention or a suddenly leaking hose under the kitchen sink or a perfect wife who says can we go to Costco (and there's no way I'll feel right saying no).
Hey, such is life, or life's block, I suppose. A beauty of writing is that it's still there, waiting, if not on your schedule then on its. And when all is said and done, the completed paragraphs and chapters and novel feel all the more sweeter.
