I don't actually have writer's block, but I am packing to go to California and don't have time for a normal post today. I originally published this poem on my old blog, Shift. It's terrible, but it's kind of fun to look back and see how far I've come. So... I hope you enjoy! :D
I’m reaching and falling, I’m hemming and hawing, I’m trying and failing, I’m rowing, now bailing, Stop!
Another day.
Go outside. Never give up.
…
My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living.
