I guess this is what they call writer's block. I can't write. I've been trying to write a personal narrative for easily over a week now and it isn't working. I don't know what to say, what to write about, anything of that sort. I am stuck in this loop of not being able to put things into words. Or perhaps the difficulty is one of finding things to put into words. It hit me today that when I write really poorly when I'm this tired and significantly better when I'm well-rested and less stressed.
I now have to put together a portfolio for that creative writing class, and I don't have very much time to find pieces and pull them together. I have a couple already, but I still need to write one and would really like to write another one. And what I really want to do for it is a personal narrative. I feel like I haven't really written a successful one throughout the duration of this class, and that bothers me.
I'm just stuck as far as what to write. Maybe this blog has taken me out of practice of writing honestly, or maybe I'm just losing the ability to write well. Either way, I can't seem to get a damn paragraph out without finding it absolutely horrendous and scrapping it entirely. I know that's bad practice in writing, but I don't know what else to do with these things. I've always sucked at editing and I really don't know how to revise something that sounds bad to me.
I was going to write more, but that was an hour ago now and I don't remember what it was. I'm tired and sleepy and my back hurts, so I think I'm going to call a night here. Again, apologies for bad quality. Good night.
