What to DO about Block?

First of all, I owe you several articles. I KNOW THAT. Second of all, my right eye is better but I am dealing with some issues to the writing is slow right about now. Just to keep you on alert, I go back to the doctor next week and then the week after and have to deal with some cataracts. I don’t look for it to slow me down, MUCH….I am even now, with this going on, working on the SUMMER NOVEl, which is titled: White Bird and Gold…and which I will guarantee you, dear hearts, you are going to love….a small group of women gather on an ISLAND and yes, it’s BIG DADDY ISLAND on the coast of Georgia…for…..wait for it…wait for it….

And then there is something called BLOCK….

Now WHAT in the WORLD do I, Peggy Mercer, do when Writer’s BLOCK hits…..”I don’t know but I’ll ask her,” said the head tomato…because everyone who knows anything at all, knows that Miss Peggy loves her #ROSES and after hibernating all winter….those precious ROSES call her to awaken and come outside, dig, push, peel and prune and that is what I have been doing.

Some people call this Writer’s Block…when a writer goes for days without writing. I don’t call it that. I call it stopping to smell the #ROSES…and or taking some me time. I’m still gelling the ideas, don’t think I am EVER away from the writing…I’m just going at it different.

^Y^{ou must write some just about every day, if you have a deadline. Which I always do have a deadline. I never have block although I go for periods of time when I lose my energy. I lose my excitement for a chapter or a book I am working on. Not very often but stink does happen….so…what do I do.}

I drift away, or go sit on my dock and waste time.

I waste time by reading ^#POETRY.

There I admitted it, I read poetry but not just any.

I read Tolstoy which is poetry to me, Faulkner, the best books every written…but mainly I read #POETRY….I read books that are 200 years old. I weep. I rejoice, I am broken and fixed through these readings. I get up and secret these books away into that precious Mahogany cabinet which belonged to my mother, and I wipe my eyes and go back to the computer and I am renewed.

I don’t know what you writers are going to do, as for me and my writing,

Poetry does the trick, said the head tomato. I love you all and will keep you posted as this summer novel progresses….and as my eyes get treated and healed. If you are a praying person, please remember me in your prayers. Prayer changes things! Love to all. Write on.

Beautiful You Life and Home

Out now and #HOT….was a No. 2 Bestseller on Amazon and is hot as fire! I promised this book to my readers and so released it last month and it’s doing wonderful…Faith based book full of ideas for living the large life in creating and

I am helping several writers, young and old right now, put their first books together.

Announcing: The Root of the Tree Poetry Society

Root of the Tree Poetry Society

Great news. I am launching a Poetry Society to help aspiring Poets and authors who want to start out writing Poetry and learn all about how to get published! We are living in hard times….these are the hard times poets who want to do something with their writing, but are not sure how to go about it.

Membership in the Poetry Society is free, however, donations are appreciated. I anticipate hiring a webmaster for the website I plan to set up for the Poetry Society and will have to pay them a small monthly fee. Therefore I ask that everyone who joins it, simply contribute what they can. Poetry organizations normally charge anywhere from $25.00 a month to more, but mine is free. I am here to help everyone whether you can afford the member fee or not. If you can donate something please do, if not, don’t worry about it, just enjoy the ride.
I will mail out an email once a month on the first day of the month all about Poetry. How to get started, finding your mojo (style of writing) and how to technically put the material together. How to get to a “book of your poetry”, and then how to get it out there. I will cover markets and more.
The Root of the Tree Poetry Society will publish an annual magazine or paperback “book” containing chosen submitted poems from up to 100 members. You will become a published poet and your career via the emails will take off.
I will provide members with a membership card. At some point I will send out t shirts.
Writing is a wonderful art, a results driven, pleasurable career and passion and money making hobby. If you attended a writer’s conference, you would NOT get this material, you would indeed, attend a few classes for up to $1000 time you pay for a plane ticket or travel and motel rooms and food. This Poetry Society will help you. Writing is wonderful Therapy for those feeling the sharp knife of loss of loved ones, the trauma of the Pandemic or other pains of life. Join me, join with others. Hopefully I will be able to publish poems on the website starting soon as I can get it up. Thanking you all for joining this great Society. This is a faith-based website, therefore nothing political, nothing vulgar or demeaning to others will be accepted. Plans are to publish the anthology next fall. All aboard!
1. How to join? Message me either here or on my FB or email. I will list an address shortly.
