@aroseinbloom Oh no! You're stuck on the blog post? I always get stuck on ideas and can never finish them-- always. It's a serious problem. Lol. I find it helpful sit cross legged-- hopefully that isn't weird. :s
The words are...stuck. I feel like I have something important to say (that sounds really snotty and it's not meant to) but I can't quite make the words come out.
I might have to call it a night and come back to it tomorrow--but I've been doing that for days.
Often when my students stay, "Oh, this paper plums, I know it. I had the hardest time writing it", it turns out to be one of the most brilliant and significant pieces they've written. There's something about that stuckness--that feeling of resistance. Sometimes--not always--but sometimes, when you can write through it, there's a tension or a thickness that is just glorious and so meaningful.
