I really enjoyed your entry for the six word story. It is a story that we can all relate to. Ricocheting is truly the perfect word as some ideas come back with a vengeance, desperate to escape but with no sense of finesse for making an exit.

I think this is a good entry for the Six Word writing contest.
You've told a complete story in only six words. Not an easy thing to do.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

Phew! oh yes, we all do suffer it at the most crucial times of our writing lives. My muse will not awaken and is so sluggish it wants to sleep on. You did a great job of this 6 worder. Best wishes,
Sylvia

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello mystery writer. You have a very interesting take on writer's block. Your perception is that the words ricochet off the head. When I have writer's block I go pick up a book that I haven't read in a long time or never. I open up to a page and run my finger down and when I find a phrase that I like I just work off that phrase. Doesn't always work by the way. The block is raised the what comes out is not worth reading. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for your review. The words are trapped within the brain, not without. I couldn't think of a way to make that clearer in the 6 words, Maybe "trapped forever" at the end? I'll look and try and fix it.

You're welcome. Six words---tough!
Comment from Iza Deleanu
So concise and beautiful, your story is rolling the struggles of creating a master piece :"Ricocheting words strike cranium.
Escape impossible." Good luck with the contest and thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your generous, detailed review. Did I understand correctly that you mean me to make something of the author's notes? Thank you for this idea, I will have to save them.

You are very welcome. Yes, I was just taking your idea of how you save words. It sounds like a creative idea to put them together in some kind of poem. Let me know if you do.
Comment from Sallyo
Quite a horror story that gives one claustrophobia to read it and think about it. Glad to read in the notes that you make the lists earn their keep by storing them for later.

Comment from Alex Rosel
I like the use of the strong verb "Ricocheting". It has a precise meaning that fits excellently here {smiles}. And, of course, I'm sure many FanStory writers will be able to relate to the sentiment {winks}.
Best of luck with this when the voting booth opens {smiles}.

A good analogy here. It's not that we lack the words, but there are times when it's darned difficult to get them out and onto paper. They just buzz around inside getting more and more tangled.

Thank you for seeing exactly what I was trying to express. Maybe I should have used "buzz" and "tangled" :).
