Writer Pains

by 'Lissa

By 'Lissa StufflestreetPublished about a year ago 1 min read

writer pains;

the struggle of finding something new

to talk about...

to write about.

the struggle of finding something new

to add to the paper.

writer pains;

the feeling of putting down the pen,

pushing away the keyboard,

telling yourself that you'll never

put yourself through this again...

only to do it all over again the next week.

some say this gig isn't a lot of work...

some will say we have it easy,

others will call this a hobby.

the truth?

nobody will ever know the truth

about the pains of a writer...

until they become the writer themselves.
