GA: I'm learning how to put the little pieces together. The other stuff comes naturally, but putting the little pieces together, I have to work at it. I'm usually go through a trauma right after I finish gathering everything and then I know I have to start processing it and putting it together. I have writer's block. I go through this trauma every single time, even if it's just a poem. Usually I need to just go with the process and sit and not do anything about it for a couple of weeks, and then slowly of itself it'll-- When I try and force it it's very traumatic.
