The Pilgrim
Breaking the Block
words by Tony, title by James
The mind is a crazy thing. As a writer and a poet, I know this all too well. Sometimes it makes writing very challenging - at other times it makes it very easy.
I guess as a writer it's a curse, and at times it can be a blessing. There are times when I can't write at all - of course I'm referring to writer's block.
At this moment writer's block has got its grips on me, and the fact that I have streaks of just plain laziness doesn't help. So I'm writing about writer's block in the hopes that it will end my current episode of writer's block,' cause it's very depressing to be a writer and not be able to write.
The Pilgrim Journal is written by our homeless friends of the Black Seed Writers Group. Sign up for an annual print subscription for $25 by designating your gift to the Monday Lunch Program on our giving page (make sure you specify that your gift is for a Pilgrim Subscription), or send a check to the Cathedral Offices with "Pilgrim Subscription" in the memo line.
