HOW TO GET RID OF WRITERS BLOCK We all struggle with it. That overwhelming moment where we wonder, what next? And our minds write up a block, that Kermit the frog meme dressed in a black cloak saying just give up . To this I say don't worry! I have figured out a way to bust through that block like the koolaid man high on sugar. Well, for this I thank my University of Toronto professor James who told us writer's block didn't exist and if we do experience it then just keep writing. I know you might be thinking, yeah ok James. Thanks for that. Writing will magically cure my writer's block, because that's exactly what I thought when he pronounced this to our lecture hall. But then I tried it....
Introduction: As you all know, I'm in university and this term I've started taking a class on Hester Pulter. This is an incredible situation where not much is known about Pulter, as her manuscript was rediscovered in 1996. She was a poet living from 1605-1678 and she works are amazing. What's more, because her work has only been rediscovered in the past thirty years we have the amazing opportunity to be apart of the conversation. This is not a Shakespeare play where we get to explore for the millionth time, each of Pulter's poems are so fresh for the conversation that we get to help build this conversation. So, as I do this in class, I will be using this blog to write down all my thoughts and notes as I personally read through her works and do my best from the stance as a writer and also as a university student to unpack this beautiful moment in time.
