These thoughts of mine,
so incomplete
whilst other thoughts
are whole and neat
I cannot write
what isn’t done
I cannot be
the only one
Who writes a line
and takes it back
and writes again
but still it lacks
the little spark
to make it shine
the little touch
to make it mine
so I erase
the words I wrote,
unfinished thoughts
no antidote.
~ Andrew
It has been a while since I wrote and I was hit with a little burst of inspiration for this one. I always find myself unable to finish something I started, I want everything I write to be the best quality possible and that inner perfectionist is a huge obstacle for me

Of course. Please keep writing! Don’t get discouraged. Your words won’t always be for you- sometimes, they’re meant to uplift others:)

I’m setting myself quite modest writing goals for the near future, I want to keep sharing my work with everyone because it’s the kind words of others that helped me overcome a lot of my anxiety about sharing my work

It’s often not as hard to think of an ideas as it is to do the idea justice on the page. A lot of work and not a lot of creative spark at uni recently, trying to stay on top of work comes before poetry but I’ll try to write more regularly now

Life can get in the way of poetic license I know….
Just keep on keeping on! No pressure…
The poems will come in their own time 😉

I find that my writing mojo comes in waves, as does my inspiration. The two don’t always happen at the same time.
I use Evernote for jotting down ideas, which I can later go back and develop into poetry or blog posts.

I’ve always been one to write ideas on paper because I’m less likely to forget I wrote it down whereas I go to my notes on my phone about once a month :p
