At night-time, when the world is sleeping and it is past midnight, the spark of writing often visits me. But tonight, even though I want to write, I can’t.
In Storytelling 101 they say this is called ‘writer’s block’ and some things that will help this are:
1) Going for a walk
2) Reading your favourite novel
3) Something called ‘free writing’, where you write everything that is in your brain so that it spills onto the paper like emptying a rubbish bin.
But I can’t do any of these things. My eyes are sleepy. My body is tired and sore and my mind feels like a cloud about to burst with bluey blue rain. All I can hear is the sound of beeping machines around me, louder than the sound of my writing sparks at night.
