"The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible." ~Vladimir Nabokov
Blkfeline- Yes, all the time. It's either I have nothing to say or I say too much so I have to go back and delete. :) Otherwise, I feel I have accomplished something even if it is just one sentence.

Hey, nice quote. It's like our hidden dreams, awaiting to breathe life into itself. I'm happy to be an inspiration to this wonderful blog.
Zapped- Yes, I was zapped when I posted this. :)Thanks again. I really like your interpretation.

Sounds like a nine-month pregnant woman with about 10centimeters of dilation. The baby is taking too long to move down the birht canal because "Out of fear, or her inability to conceive her innate strengh to complete the process" She allowed the doctor to administer a muscle relaxant. Now her muscles are too relaxed to push the baby out. A delayed natural process, I prefer to call it, or shall I say man trying to help God ....Can man help God?
Thank you Stephen for enlightening us once more ***wink***
Sure my brother "writers block" is fear of writing just what is in your mind ...nothing! You know I am not a writer but for you I am willing to make a fool out of me seff. Let's try this;
I am sitting here thinking nothing, I am writing nothing My mind has nothing in it, so I will write nothing until I have something. Wait, I hear thunder, the sky has something
Writing is a flow of all ideas, and imaginations. Jot it all down and reminisce later. Hope to see you on the shelves this soon :)

He's describing the birth process of words onto paper. I feel it.
Fab- Yes, it's like a fresh canvas or a slab of marble. The possibilities can be as astounding as a painting by Romare Bearden or a sculpture by Michaelangelo.

Peace to you, Stephen!
Well said both times. I agree. I used to tell my students the same, "write about the fact that you have nothing to write about."
Oh Oh...What's that? I think I'm having labor pains! :)
UB-
Yes, and it's a bouncing baby leatherbound. :)
Yes indeed!
Agreed! :)
Writing is wonderful in that, like the quote says, it holds such excitement and anticipation.
Love it!
Yes, I had that photo and I just wanted the perfect quote to fit it and I found that one. I love it too and I learned something about Vladimir.
