A detailed Summary of I tried to reason it out

Talk about irony. Our assignment was to read and annotate Griffin's piece on her case of writers block and then to write about one of our own cases of writers block that we encountered during high school. I had no problem with the reading and annotating portion of the assignment.

The one link between the two that I picked up on was Griffin's tool of continuously reformulating questions and answers. This occurred numerous times starting about half way through her story.

I do realize that the assignment was to be about an episode I experienced in the past about resolving writers blo
