A WRITER'S BLOCK


UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Gennita Low's Writing Muse needs a voice now and then to remind Gennita about her love for writing and her battle with words. It's a dark world illuminated by the glow of creation. The Muse is that light. Sometimes she sleeps. Sometimes she's ferocious. Often she patiently waits. Pst. Never ignore her. Feed the Muse or else.

Imploration


There's a darkness in a writer's soul that even my light cannot shine for you. I know how cold it is there; I have seen you shiver when you tread into that cavern. Don't stay in there too long. Whatever you're seeking in there might harm you. I do not know; I have never been there. I only know that it stops you from writing. Stops you from creating. Stops you from being.

You have gone in there too long this time. The frost is not good for you. Do not keep grieving.

Grief can freeze a writer's soul.

Come back. Create.
*****************
You out there: what is stopping you today? Because there are places Gennita's Muse advises you to avoid.

How eloquently you summed that up. But you know, that fear and running away from the act of writing has its own subtle seductiveness.
