#SOL16 Day 26

Writer's Block Has Hit Today

I spent the entire day trying to find something to write about. I was observant during my 2 1/2 hour walk this morning. I saw a slow creek running along beside me. I saw squirrels hopping across fallen trees. I heard dogs barking and saw a lot of people walking or running ahead and behind me.

Later I joined hubby for a day of errands. I read for awhile, we talked, we ate and we went to Home Depot and bought a peach tree.

By the time we got home, I was beyond tired. So I have mindlessly watched old tv reruns and dreaded having to write today's slice. Because I still couldn't think of anything to write about. So today, it is just about the ordinary. A typical Saturday with nothing outstanding. But even in the everyday ordinariness (is that even a word?) I was at least able to put something down on paper.

  1. Great imagery of your morning walk--I think sometimes we're not in a place to see all the ideas that come our way. I'm especially that way when tired.

  3. it's sometimes just enough to let readers get a glimpse into another's ordinary life. Buying a peach tree! Will you actually have real, juicy peaches growing in your backyard? How long will that take? I am so envious.

  4. The long walk sounds lovely! And I may be a bit jealous of your new peach tree!

  7. You showed up. You told a story! I love this slice. Writing is about showing up every day! Way to go!

  8. My first year of slicing I think writer's block was the most important take away for me, it helped me be much more nurturing when a my students face a day that they just don't have anything to say.
