Sources of Inspiration: Grief

by

This is one of those subjects so hard to write about directly, a Writer’s Block as thick as a tumor feels like it lodges its way between me and my writing tools, clogging the words to express such feelings inside me, choking me.  Once I can get myself going, it’s like vomiting. I’m sick with grief, until I start to puke out the words with such force, I cannot stop. The words pour out in a deluge of pain.  I struggle to articulate this. Grief isn’t always articulate, but it is recognizable.  Why write about something, which is so sad, … Read more
