Where is my inspiration? Racing through my mind is a whole lot of the usual. Interesting? The “usual” was interesting the first time I wrote about it. Even the second time. Ranting through a pen is supposed to satisfy a writer all the time though, right? ‘Spose not. Broken-record scenarios are boring to write about after a while. Love is too cliché. Opinions only work if you have something to be opinionated about. Complaining always works, though! Keeping that in mind will help me out, I’m sure. *Amber |

When i get like that I start reading off the wall poets I find on the Internet and usually I read something that sparks my creativity and voilà! a new way of thinking and a new poem. ~ Eggs and bacon, honeymoon style / What's honeymoon style? / Straight up and hard. ~ |

When I get like that, I listen to tons of music (well, I do that anyway, writer's block or no) and get inspired. Or, from another angle, I listen for ideas I can steal to imbue my stuff. Love *is* a cliched subject for poetry and song. It is the constant. But...I don't care, I think my writing about love is a challenge and a journey to find another way of looking at things. Flexes my brain and heart muscles. Anyway, great write! I'm really loving your work, Amber. |

Wale Amber? Om frm Texas and that’s where I started rotten. Later on I found the Pip seems to be a good place to rot. It’s very natural to have trouble rotten now and then, that is, to haver rotters block. I’ve found it helps if just top something on the computer, even if I don’t think I have don’t have anything to rot about. You might want to trah just toppin something and why somebody’ll wanna read it. Rot now, if I don’t cook somthin with the here meat, it’s gonna start rotten so I better get rotten. Funs Daddygoose |

Amberzlynnc - Perhaps 'writer's block' is just a frustration waiting to be inspired. Quite often we poets must step out of the box to see perspectives not seen before so we can draw on strengths not drawn before enabling us to write words not written before. Cheer up! It isn't blood that flows in a poets veins. It's ink! Much enjoyed your work here Amberzlynnc. Now step out of that box! Namyh |
