You hear the term “writer’s block” frequently in writing
circles. For me, it’s not quite like
that. I have the ideas about plots,
characters, what they’ll look like, what they’ll say, where the conflicts will
arise, and so forth.
Although when I started penning those ideas, the sentences
don’t necessarily get stuck between brain and keyboard, but they come out…um,
clunky? Not smoothly. Something like
that…
The best analogy I could think of was a wide receiver on a
football team who’d been out of the game for a year. And not actively practicing. His first time back on the field he still
made it down field, but his steps weren’t as quick. He wasn’t as graceful. He’d lost his edge. He was…clunky. Maybe that was the right word after all.
