i wish you came with a warning label. what was in the film canister. splashing lake water with numbing feet. you always bought the damn fruit loops. moles, not freckles. i didn't read the last page of the novel. i never told you this, but.
Try doing exercises in description. Look around the room, around the house, take a walk, and describe everything you see in the most creative way possible. Maybe one of the images you come up with will inspire you. Go people watching and make up stories for the people you see. Don't write about yourself. Peruse groups for prompts. Some good ones are #PoeticalCondition, #Glory-Be-Project - this one has loads of good stuff in their journal, I would suggest reading through the last few. #ReadandBeRead, #ScreamPrompts, #Writers-Workshop, I can't think of any others off the top of my head. However, a great place to find this kind of stuff is in `IrrevocableFate's journal. She collects and posts this kind of info all the time. Also, the music challenge is going around [link] (his is closed now, but a lot of other people are doing it, or you can post it yourself). AND this is happening as well - [link] "My Prompt Journal (Lit Community Experiment Cont.)"
what helped me today was just writing (no stopping or thinking). i think i have this whole thing in stash and it's just gibberish but it helped me clear out that blockage you know. and then the words came (in order and in sense). maybe it will work for you?

Hope that helps!
write about not writing
something mortal and raw
or something salt-crusted like the sea.
i can't write either.
been more than two months.
paper forests sounds so delectable
but alas, nothing is forming in my head

i can rant and write if there is something wrong
or something inside me
but theres nothing
nothing!
(but i think this is a good thing- nothing wrong- ah!)
