“I’m curious, but what have you found one of the most difficult things that comes with writing?”

-Steven Capps


Hi Steven,

There are a lot of hurdles to overcome in writing… a lot. This is just me personally, but the hardest thing for writing is finding the time to write and then pulling myself away from the keyboard when I need to. It is so hard when the ideas are flowing like a waterfall and you want to get everything down before you miss something. The problem is that life get’s in the way and for people, like myself, that have other jobs, families, and other responsibilities, we don’t always have the time to write. The result usually being that we lose a few of those great ideas. At this point, the only advice I can offer is to not let it get you down. You came up with one good idea, you’ll have another one soon.

Hope this helps!

  1. Steve,
    “Writing is as important as having a tongue to say the words.”
    Jinx Shadylane

    The question above haunts a true writer. Perhaps because of the diverse ways of interpreting the word difficult. True writing is writing for writing sake. The loss of words and paralyzation of creativity is a frustrating ordeal. Stirring up the emotional time stamps of the last time writers block infected my brain.

    The blankness of the screen is a blinding reminder of how exhausting and difficult the backspace finger dance becomes the deleting of words one by one word. There is a wave numbing in my hand. The tightened grip of this pen makes up for lost time. Scribbling of the jibbered context of the 90 page wide ruled notebook

    Each page tattered and worn, hanging on to the spiral binding hoping the bottom half rips further from the perforated edge. The words or phrases are presented visually within the doodle creation, blending with and into each part of the page, It becomes difficult to find the start of and the end of each Mind Maze. The intricate designs seem more complex when my mind is freed of writers block.

    The Classic trademark of a “Mind Maze” and the developmental uses are unrecognizable starts and finishes within the work its self. Paths of a “Mind Maze” will take a reader to a dead end thought. Causing readers to follow the chronological flow of the words- into phrases- ending in sentences that read together flow and make sense in structure and in sound.

    Written and doodled multiple pages of size 8 by 11 and a mix of Art with Words, Words with Words or any other artistic penmanship consisting of text and doodles. The concept of the “Mind Maze”, similarly to other brainstorming concepts starts with an 8 by 11 size piece of paper and writing tool.
    Each maze uniquely has its own path, generating a writing pattern to uncover phrases with meaning.

    I also have some questions regarding publication processes. I will send you a link to originally tattered love notes but these may help you
