Sometimes it's hard to write.
We all know this - no surprise.
There's power in a clear description of the struggle, and in particular I love this student's depiction of the bare, spareness of struggle for inspiration. It's made even richer by the second part of her writing from the same week, in which she drops us into a landscape of incredible richness and a strong, vivid, lively memory.
In fact the prompt was to take us to a landscape. First she takes us inside her mind, an empty-seeming scape she describes acutely. Then, within that spare space, she finds a rich rabbit hole of a memory.
As always, this is fresh, unedited, pure mind raw writing.
Enjoy!

What appears? Nothing appears. That’s not exactly true. It’s just that it’s hard to describe.
