Ramble #24 (It’s Been a While)
I’m experiencing an intense writer’s block at the moment. Usually it’s not very difficult for me to write spontaneously, about any number of things, but I think my adult-onset perfectionism is killing my creativity. I have to write a piece each week for my writing class and read it aloud. The last two weeks I’ve felt my writing has been somewhat contrived, forced. Organic expression has become increasingly difficult for me as I age, for whatever reason, the perfectionism being only a middle man. I have been feeling somewhat embarrassed sharing my pieces in class, as if everyone can tell I’m a fake. Anyhow, wish me luck on my next stab at this. I’m not a fake, I swear.
