I can't form metaphors. I have no new material. I guess this is what happens when I go too long without writing. I feel worthless.
When I get stuck like this I usually do some free style/automatic type of writing & usually this will loosen up my brain. I belong to Poetry Foundation & I go there daily to soak up some good prose you can also save a list of your favorites-when I'm having a crappy day re-reading The Jabberwocky also helps-take care hope your day gets better.
