They say that following this almost "stream of consciousness" style does bring clarity and is useful in getting started again. Well written. Best wishes.

This may well be the way to do it. Just give ourselves a mantra and repeat. I like the repetition of this one and the methodical instruction which fits well into your 5-7-5. I must try it next time:) Well done and good luck! Debbie

What a great prescription for Writer's Block and I like how your right-adjusted poem ends with the command to Write! I think that makes sense - even when we think we're blocked we can still write.
Best wishes in the contest!

It's a good idea and the theory is definitely what it takes, but it doesn't always work out that way. I find myself either writing like crazy or staring at the screen with nothing coming to mind.

    Something always comes to mind, you are filtering. I think using a pen is the key that is organic. I have to think to type with a pen I can write and not luck. After editing, I might have nothing much but the key is to write and not let your mind defeat you. Thanks for your review.

Your advice and method is solid. Writers write. It is the only way to face our enemy "Writer's Block" Head on. This is a good entry for the contest. Best of luck.

I usually have plenty of things to write about but never enough time to put them on paper. What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Well I think the pen in hand with thoughts going from you head to hand is equivalent of thoughts going from head to fingertips using a laptop.

The key is simply to get down and write whatever comes to mind to bust the wall.

Excellent post.

I totally agree with the sentiment expressed in this 5-7-5 poem. Writer's block is real. So we must find a way to deal with it. One of my colleagues used to say the same thing - write, write, write.

This 5-7-5, Just Write, has the proper formatting and definitely has a message for the readers. Instead of reading this poem, write one. Write what you think.
