I don't know how often this happens to anyone else, but sometimes my mind just shuts down. One minute I'm flowing with good ideas and I even know what the next paragraph will say; the next I don't know what the next word will be. Sometimes it is much easier to write about a preset topic or things.
I'm not complaining about the freedom of being able to write one post about anything, but when our class had to write two responses on outside reading, you at least knew what you were going to write about. There's also the fact that 150 minutes of reading something usually gives you plenty information to write four paragraphs worth of response. Sometimes you just need to calm down, think for a minute, and let your mind go to work.
Good post Noah. I deal with the same thing. I agree that when you have something specific to write about it makes it easier to write two paragraphs.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good post and it is one that I can relate to. I like how you talk about writer's block because I know everyone deals with it, so many people can relate to this post. Also, you somehow know how to talk a good deal about writer's block which I cannot do. Anyways, good post and please do more like it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good blog post Noah. I like how you show analogies that relate to the post. I can learn a lot from this blog. Simply because of talking like a good writer. I plan on looking for more of your helpful blogs.
