Writers block

[justcloudy]

hey AJ, I know how you feel. I've also been trying to use NaPM as a "just WRITE" sort of kick-in-the-ass, but generally as soon as I post something there I get incredibly embarrassed. just don't feel up to par. Leanne I'm hoping your very measured response applies in my situation too, because everything I've produced lately just feels terrible beyond belief. I used to only write when it just vomited itself out, but this whole practicing thing is frustrating. does it get better in time? reading more poetry helps and hurts at once, hurts mostly just because I feel I'll never be able to create something like that. sigh.

btw AJ I've really been enjoying your NaPM poetry. and that isn't flattery, when I saw in your post you've only been writing for a year I turned green with envy that what you just churn out already reads like that.
