Non-fiction / Memoir Challenge: Reflection

Interesting.  Are you making a reference to the fact that humans are “stiuck” or “frozen” by reliance on words as the main means of communication.  That really is what it made me think of.  I liked the quote and agree with it!

This made me smile.

I like the sentiment… I’m not sure if you’re refering to writers block, or the fact that if you’re published your name will exist forever, or if you’re refering to chiseling out your feelings into words, but that’s what I like about it, that it can be interpreted many different ways.

Bravo…

keep writing

I t has good imagery for only six words, and certainly fits the contest criteria. Witty and well done.

Yeh not bad… I like. Not exactly deep or working on many levels like I think this really needs to but it’s certainly a very decent stab mate. Nice one

The only problem I have with this one is that I feel it is a little vague (perhaps intentionally, perhaps not).  I’m not sure if you are saying that you have trouble finding the right words or if the words you use are like a time capsule that forever freezes that moment in time.  If you want to have a dual meaning, I think something like “lost” as a substitute for “frozen” would be better (as in “lost in a good book” or lost and can’t find the right thing to say/write).  For a single meaning, you could just change “frozen” to a more specific term.

I think frozen is very specific. i think she alludes to your second meaning and not your first. Imortalised would be more accuret but I think this is more poetic.

Nice, it has a real emotional kick, probably for every writer’s block crazy moment…
Thinking if you changed the tense, it completely changes the story.
Think unexplained moments, things you wish you never said, that girl/boy you just didn’t have the words/ response for, etc.
All the same – nice.

I think you have found a winner in this one. Keep creating though. Always room for more.

I like it. This one captures the brevity element, but it also seems natural, and unforced.

Intresting. I am wondering if your speaking of permenant writers block or being
so  wrapped up in writing that the rest of the world is shut out. Left me thinking. Good job.
