I think that i'm facing a major writer's block.
I have 2 essays that I need to complete.
So far, it's just a stuttering attempt to start for the first essay.
It's a reflective essay, whereby I have to write about my experiences in a certain situation. I took to the lecturer's advice and thought, sure I could do this reflective essay. It's free form, not structured, and I just need to think back, remember and put down all those memories into words. Should not be that difficult to do. The most important thing is to get the butt down and start writing.
And so I decided, yeah, I should try to start, soonest.
And start I did, and oh my, what a big, thick wall it was in front of me! I could not even move past the introduction. All the ideas were like jumping, but I could not coaxed them to stay still, and help me tell the tale. They were just jumping around in my head, teasing me, challenging me to catch them, fast. And they jumped around, played around, help with a word or two, but always taking their naps when I needed them!
After about 2-3 hours just thinking of the start to the essay, I gave up. It was terrible, just terrible. Those jumping thoughts were just too much for me. I felt the wall built was just too thick, too high with no stairs or drill to get pass or over it, then.
And so, here I am, again, trying hard to break down the wall that has built up in me.
