Yes this blog is almost late, and yes, as the title says, it's because I feel like I have no ideas. Part of the reason I've posted so many poems lately was to avoid this problem. However, I also have big plans for my poetry on this blog in the near future.
I love the poems I've put on this blog, but right now I'm having trouble with a particular poem. Everything comes out cliche. I just can't get it right. As I struggle with this blog and other projects,, I try to remember two things:
1. I must relax- If I don't relax the ideas stop flowing. This may seem obvious, but consider this. Some writers thrive in high pressure situations. I thought i had to be one of them to be a true writer That's one of the reasons I went into journalism classes for a while. However, I realized that environment does very little to foster growth and mastery of the creative process. Panicking when I write has the same effect.
2. My writing must bring life- The Book of Proverbs talks about God's Word bringing life. God created all life with Word. He is the Word! (John 1:1) I can bring life or death with my words. With God's help, I will continually choose life!
