Road Block

I had a hard time with the second exercise, "Paragraphs as Containers." The prompt given is to write about a person who decides to stop spending so much time with a gang of friends. You are supposed to write five paragraphs with spaces in between each, and these paragraphs detail isolated problems related to the bigger issue. I don't know if it was the prompt provided (though Kitely makes no demands that you stick strictly to his prompts) or just the exercise itself, but I could not sit at my computer and think of anything to write on that particular idea or any other. Granted, I just started these exercises the weekend before the 4th of July, the weekend where I work in Beer and Wine before the 4th of July, the weekend where I work in Beer and Wine for 8 or 9+ hours a day the weekend before the 4th of July. Maybe I've been tired. Who knows. Anyway, writing exercises are meant to be revisited and not meant to be done in the strict order which the book lays out. So, I will revisit this exercise again later, dog ear it in the book, for a time when I can really sit down and hash this bad boy out.
