Sometimes using the alphabet as a literary crutch becomes an exercise worth doing.  In this exercise I used every letter of the alphabet to create a short story in prose form.  It's really difficult to get anything to work with the letter "X" as there were very few words I could think of in the moment that started with X.  This always ends up being a fun exercise whenever I do it.

In this episode of Writer's Block I tackle a couple of verses for a brand new song inspired by a childhood memory.

      Took the railing
      in my hand
      Slid down
      to meet the ground
      Upon arrival
      the wood it split
      In my hand
      a splinter was found

      It took my breath
      outta my lungs
      Gasping
      for an inch of relief
      Wonder from the fall
      is what I found
      A jagged sword
​      or an olive branch wreath

In my Writer’s Block Series I talk about songwriting, what tools I use to get the lyrics right, how to break through writer's block, my inspirations for the songs I'm writing and you get to see it all as it’s happening in real time.
