Thank you for your very kind words.<br /><br /><b>kaykuala</b><br />I think it's simply running out of ideas, a misnomer. I don't think anything is blocked. The reservoir is empty.<br /><br /><b>Elisabeth</b><br />Yes, that I can understand. That is a more complex issue, I think, but I'm not sure that it's what most folk mean when they speak of writers block. Thanks for the comment.<br /><br /><b>Tabor</b><br />Many thanks for your generous comment. It's more a drought than a blockage, I think.<br /><br /><b>sunny</b><br />Thanks sunny. Much appreciated.<br /><br /><b>haricot</b><br />An intriguing comment that opens up all manner of lines of thought. Thank you very much for it.<br /><br /><b>ArtistUnplugged</b><br />Thank you, a thought-provoking comment.<br /><br /><b>Carl</b><br />Useful feedback. Thanks again.<br /><br /><b>Ella</b><br />Hi Good to be hearing from you. Thank you for your very welcome comment.<br /><br /><b>The Weaver of Grass</b><br />It used to be an almost permanent condition. Or I thought it was. It was only when I began to work to deadlines - often self-imposed, like posting daily - that I began to get on top of it. Even so, I am "blocked" (wrong word) until the eleventh hour. Then something comes - usually!<br /><br /><b>jabblog</b><br />Interesting question. A while ago I discovered an extensive and very complex chalked scene on the square. It covered pretty much the whole of the area and was very imaginative. It looked like a cross between a work of art, pure and simple, and a child's game - numbered squares as for hopscotch, for example. I produced a series of poems on this. Almost as soon as I was launched upon the series, however, the workmen arrived and complicated the scene still further with their excavations. My earlier post owes more to the childrens' drawing than to the water troubles.<br /><br /><b>Poetry and Icecream</b><br />Hi. Welcome to my blog. Many thanks for your input.<br /><br /><b>Jeanette</b><br />I might just interpret that as profound and insightful! Thanks for it.<br /><br /><b>Windsmoke</b><br />I'll settle for the gist!<br /><br /><b>Mary</b><br />Always good to meet up, wherever that may occur. Thanks for the response. As always, much appreciated.<br /><br /><b>Mama Zen</b><br />I am happy with that. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Judith</b><br />A warm welcome to you. Thanks for visiting and for your comment.<br /><br /><b>Madeleine</b><br />Strange beings, these muses!<br /><br /><b>Philip</b><br />Hi Good to have your visit. Many thanks for the comment. Maybe you should try to anticipate the brainstorm?Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-14501377407738738642011-10-30T10:17:20.804+00:002011-10-30T10:17:20.804+00:00I'm waiting for a brainstorm it seems too many...I'm waiting for a brainstorm it seems too many times!Philip Thrifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021615111948806998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-23203281284172085662011-10-30T06:53:05.308+00:002011-10-30T06:53:05.308+00:00Excellent, and I could really relate!Excellent, and I could really relate!Madeleine Begun Kanehttp://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-33963913813217356152011-10-30T01:46:04.368+00:002011-10-30T01:46:04.368+00:00Oh, I love the last stanza.

Sometimes it does seem like a rainmaker is necessary in order to get our writing juices free flowing.
