Dear Writer's Block,
It's not you, it's me. I am giving my full effort to extract something from my creative mind but you are just a hindrance. You are pulling back what I extracted and crushing it into pieces until it blows away. I told you it's not you, it's me. And it always should be me. I am in charge of doing my work and oh well, your job is to block me. Great!. Now, what do I do?. Such a nuisance. Okay, I'm trying to be productive and produce something that would satisfy my soul and also to my dear readers. I just can't believe you are striking me at this moment that I am in rush. I have to finish my story or else it will be a waste of opportunity. I am working on this story because, after a thousand years of waiting, a publishing company has accepted my story. I've been waiting for this and please don't ruin it.
I know eliminating you will be hard. You're just a part of me and you're still not me, never ever. If only I can face you right now,I will really punch you hard until you fly to Mars and never come back to me. Can you see how exaggerated am I? That's how desperate I am to terminate you. BUT HOW? HOW CAN I TERMINATE YOU?. Gosh. I hope you see that I'm getting frustrated and you made it worse.
Do you still remember the days that you are so helpful? When you know that I'm stressed up, you showed up. I thank you for that, genuinely. Because of you, I meditated and realized that I need time to relax too. That I have to give myself a break and plug out of the world. And by that, you have been helping me to find the best ideas for my creative stories.
You have been behaving well lately but you are annoying me today. You are so annoying, annoying, annoying, and annoying, and annoying again. Ha! Hope you consider me by this letter. Just you wait. I'm going to find a way to eliminate you. It's just only for a day so please consider. You wait okay? You really should.
YOURS TRULY,
UNBLOCKING WRITER
Hey Roanne,
ReplyDeleteI was drawn to your post because of it's creative title and style. I enjoyed the whole idea of writing a letter to the thing that was stopping you from being productive - it is clever.
I did wonder while reading this sentence "You are pulling back what I extracted and crushing it into pieces until it blows away." that maybe your choice of words confuses the visualisation. By this I mean that if you are crushing something I would imagine that it would be something heavy... and therefore not be able to be blown away. I would imaging that tearing or breaking would be a better adjective for this. What do you think?
Look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for visiting and reading my blog Kelsey. About that sentence, I am trying to say that what I extracted are really that important for me to write (since in this letter I am a writer) and the writer's block tries to steal that away from me by crushing it into pieces which means as the time goes by, that creative idea is being forgotten until I never going to get it back again where the "until it blows away" means. Well, I think I used the wrong word then. You are correct that I should've used tearing or breaking. Thank you for informing!
