[stylist] motivating myself to write

[Barbara HAMMEL]

Vejas, why not just write descriptions of these characters in that document. Call it story characters or something and that's writing. I too have been in a stuck spot. Sometimes I wonder if I'm running out of poems.

I conduct stories about them all in my head as well, and know their names, ages, personalities, etc.  But often when it comes to me wanting to write about them, I open a document and just freeze.  I really want to keep writing, though.  I just find it strange that I have all the information about them in my head but when it gets to having to write it on paper it's totally different.
