Don't worry about it. It happens to me all the time. I want to express something but I can't get it onto the paper. Write your ideas down and take a break and go back to it in a few days, it always works for me,
There’s nothing to do, There’s nothing to see
There’s no where to go, There’s no where to be
I’m just sitting alone, In this empty room
Writing my poem, I’m over the moon

Me too it annoying cause i had loads of idea and was typing up. Well i had to start my computer again and forgot to back it all up. Let this be a warning to everyone back stuff up.

contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as writers block.

You either A) have nothing to write about B) You don't know enough about your topic to actually write it (which means you should be more thinking) or C) You're using "writer's block" as an excuse to put off writing/editing/rewriting. (otherwise known as Writer's Procrastination! :lol:)

In case of A, try some good writing prompts! [url=http://writersdigest.com/writingprompts.asp]Writer's Digest Prompts![url] There are a lot of prompts there, so make good use of them!

As for B, exactly what I said above, if you don't know your idea or plot well enough you won't be able to write it, so do some more planning.

And, for C well...Join the party!

Oh, and you really shouldn't post this kind of stuff here. It's not much of a 'lyric poetry'. Maybe next time you could put something like this in the randomness/writing advice (or is it tips? I have yet to memorize the board names here...)/lounge. Kay?:-D

This isn't actually literary material. I'm moving this to The Lounge because it seems more like a discussion about Writer's Block that any commenting on a literary piece.

*moved*
