The block of ideas, sealed in1
a monolith. A solid gray rock of2
structure. Chipping away like a sculpter3
your piece looks like hell. 4
Continuing on to shape and you form , your statue of words.5
Like a rock climber you know every crevasse and 6
step of your stone. Gripping and sliding ; struggling7
to form your shape words in time. 8
Thinking you've reached the top, looking9
around you see nothing and everything.10
Like a desolate wasteland , with pieces here and there.11
Walking for miles and days, finally you arrive to 12
your finished piece , gazing at your sculpture of words.13

I love this - but it's a poem and I asked for short stories
Wonderful imagery and you've breathed new life into a cliched metaphor.
A fine write, but it doesn't fit in with the parameters of the contest. Thanks for entering though and all my best to you

I like this, it's good, it describes the whole writer's block experience pretty well. I don't know if it's really a story or not but it's also not my call. Good job on this either way.

I think of it as a narrative poem, not planned as a short story.
It nees a rewrite, maybe, I will do that, not sure. -
I thought this was a very well written poem but... Just an observation but isn't this supposed to be a short story contest? I thought it was very well written, however.
