Sunday's Whirligig 12 given words:
came sister uneasy flashes recall moments 
writing three weeks altered, distorted years

3WW given words
 perplexed outlandish  nibble 

She came crying a kid sister 
Uneasy and in despair
There were flashes of brilliance
She could recall moments of happiness
after writing only for three weeks
it was an outright fulfillment
when suddenly it happened!

It altered her ego and distorted her mind
Perplexed she just could not understand it
She had outlandish ideas 
Designs of being an JK Rowling 
in years to come
a commitment she promised herself
but now it just came in nibbles
She had to be consoled
Writer's block was a rude shock

  7. A terrible thing for a writer but it do pass. I couldn't think what to write about a few years ago so wrote about a common garden pea.

  9. I agree with Sherry, this is a good one. Perhaps it resonates too much with me. I'm experiencing writer's block right now too.

  10. That is the beauty of prompt words so you can write down your reaction to them; however that is easier with poetry than with a novel.

  11. Writer's block is a fear that passes. You just have to believe that it will.

  13. Oh gosh yes, the first experience of writer's block IS a rude shock. Luckily we learn it doesn't last forever.

  14. I think JK Rowling would console her with the advice that it takes many years and many rejections - perhaps what counts is that we keep on writing!

  15. Writing definitely is a commitment! JK Rowling sounds pretty committed to me.

  16. It is indeed...not an experience that a writer enjoys but one that can be endured and plowed through. Great write.
