There is something about typing my thoughts down on a screen instead of wring with pen and ink on paper, that blocks my mind and causes havoc on my brain. I don’t know if there’s a disconnect between the motions my hand make as I write or the lack of them as I type, and it is something I'm working on conquering.
How does one accomplish this? I wish someone would tell me. Lately I’ve been struggling with writing even a little bit. I feel no deep longing to write and this worries me. I know that good writing takes practice and the strength to sit and put words down on paper, even when you’re not feeling creative in the slightest. Out of hard work comes masterpieces.
To me this quote explains a lot.
Writing is easy: All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead. ~Gene Fowler
Lately this is how I feel all the time. It’s almost been easier for me to write essays and such, than it for me to put down in writing my thought’s or recent happenings in my life.
So this right here is me dragging words out of my throat, can’t you tell? I know I can.
Until another time, and I promise it won’t be so long.
Love your tired college student.
