At my weekly writing group last night: a mental block.

I’ve been working on some poetry that I’d like to read publicly. It all revolves around the usual themes I write about, just presented more as a feeling than something literal. But I’ve had a lot of trouble getting out of writing literally. I think it’s my habits — all the written communication I do on a daily basis — plus the fact that I rarely leave this mindset. I don’t read much fiction and creative writing these days, and I think I’m seeing how much I need to again.
