Writer’s Block

Posted on January 25, 2023 by mitchteemley

ellie-thompson-e1673097060719My Featured Blogger this week is Ellie Thompson. Ellie shares her home in England with a cat named Peanut and a “sometimes demented electric wheelchair” named Brian. Her “poetry, musings, and memoirs–true tales of my life” are nothing if not relatable. This is probably because somewhere along the line she switched her focus from opinions and abstractions to something she cared more about, everyday life. A life that is eminently and delightfully relatable!

    I don’t have writers blog, but sometimes I am just not in the mood and I figure that’s alright, writing is not a daily must or a chore (at least for me.)

    Now that’s what I call making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear! Writing about not being able to write. She is an encouragement to all of us aspiring scribes. Thanks for introducing us to Ellie.

    So real – thank you. The hollowness of abstractions these days makes me lean in to practical matters and real actions and behaviors with renewed appreciation. Your candor and humility make for such relatable reads. Brava, lady!
