writers block
im trying to write my paper for english. its not going well. actually, to be correct, im trying to write my part of the paper for english. mary's doing the other part (or is going to anyway). i've got writers block. i can't seem to get past it. i have to write one paragraph on the critic's interpretation of Dante as metaphorical and write one about how the metaphorical interpretation is more applicable to modern day life. this thing is due on fri and we aren't even close to finishing. i can't seem to connect with this essay. there's no emotion here, a maj probolem since the emotion is what makes my essays. mary's key is content. not that her essays are bad; they're good. but hers are more pedantic and mine are more emotional. how are we going to write this essay? how are we going to combine 2 writing styles that are so different and contradicting? we even interpret our own thesis differently. we both wrote an introduction using the same thesis, and the intros could have been used for two completely seprarate papers. it was amazing. i don't know what we're going to do.i need to write about how Dante's ideas presented in the Inferno are applicable to modern day life. well thats not too bad. i know the ideas. i know that Dante uses a trip through hell to symbolize the turmoil and hellish aspects of both his life and society at the time. and i know how that relates to modern day life: the political and social corruption, the drug use, the lack of vision, etc, etc. but i can't put it into formal writing. its like my essay is in thought form, and i can't figure out how to translate it into actual words. its just feelings, thoughts, and emotions. normally, thats how i write my essays, but i can't seem to do that tonight. i need a muse...
