Writer's Block

SO THE GOOD NEWS IS I ACTUALLY MANAGED TO MEET MY GOAL OF GETTING A POETRY WEBSITE UP AND RUNNING, AND POST THE FIRST FEW PROMPTS.

THE BAD NEWS IS... I HAVEN'T WRITTEN ANYTHING SINCE! I REALLY DO WANT TO COMPLETE AS MANY OF THE PROMPTS AS POSSIBLE, BUT I'M STILL JOB SEARCHING WHICH LEAVES LITTLE TIME FOR POETRY WRITING. PLUS, THE WHOLE BACK-TO-SCHOOL MADNESS (CONFERENCES, FUNDRAISERS, PARENT/TEACHER MEETINGS) HAS REALLY KICKED ME RIGHT IN THE GUT AND KNOCKED ME OVER. PLUS, AFTER VENTURING ON OVER TO THE ABPJ (AMAZINGLY BAD POETRY JOURNAL) WEBSITE, I'M AFRAID TO WRITE ANYTHING EVER AGAIN. HOPEFULLY MY STUFF ISN'T THAT BAD. BUT SUDDENLY I'VE GROWN TIMID.

I ALSO DEVELOPED WRITER'S BLOCK FOR TWO OF THE PROJECTS. FIRSTLY, AFTER TRYING TO COMPLETE THE "POEM A DAY FOR THREE DAYS" CHALLENGE I'VE KIND OF GOTTEN STUCK ON THE THIRD DAY. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO USE A SYNONYM RELATED TO "DIG" AND "UNEARTH" SO I CHOSE "RESURRECT" AND DECIDED MY THEME WOULD BE THREE WOMEN-GODESSES FROM CELTIC MYTHOLOGICAL LORE (IN CASE THAT DIDN'T COME ACROSS IN THE POEMS). ANYWAY, AFTER COMPLETING THE FIRST TWO I'M NOW STUCK ON A POEM FOR MORRIGAN, THE IRISH GODESS OF WAR. MAYBE SHE'S JUST SO KICK ASS THAT I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH HER. I DON'T KNOW. I HAVE TO BE IN A BLOODTHIRSTY MOOD TO TACKLE THIS.

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL POEM HAS ME STUMPED AS WELL. I DO HAVE SOMETHING IN THE WORKS BUT....ARGH. ANYWAY SO THAT'S WHERE I AM THESE DAYS.
