#15 – Getting Stuck and Unstuck
The song “Stuck in the Middle with You” by Stealers Wheel is stuck in my mind, an agreeable kind of earworm. The part that crawls around in my head is the refrain: Clowns to the left of me/Jokers to the right/Here I am stuck in the middle with you. The part I pay attention to when I’m writing is I’ve got the feeling that something ain’t right/I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair/And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs. That’s how I feel when I’m stuck somewhere in the middle of my writing and can’t figure out how to get unstuck. This blog is about the universal author experience of getting stuck and unstuck.
