Writer’s Block. It. Stinks. And I have it! Now I’m going to sit here and write a blog about writer’s block and how much it stinks! =)
I want to be posting regularly on my blog, but I just can’t come up with good stuff to write right now! I have a topic that I’ve been working on for about a week now. I’ve worked on it 3 different times and I just can’t convey in writing what I’m trying to say! That’s really weird for me. I’m really good at writing what I can’t verbally say…except this time! And it stinks! I just keep thinking the next time I open it up, the words will flow out of me and it’ll be the greatest and most encouraging blog I’ve written. I open the document…re-word a sentence or two and then…NOTHING! NADA! ZILCH! EMPTY THOUGHTS! It stinks!
I read a scripture the other day that really spoke to me. I thought, “This is great! I’ll blog about this!” So, I opened up a blank Word document, starting writing and BAM! Jumbled thoughts! Nothing I wanted to say was coming to mind to write about!
I guess it’s just the time of year. My mind is constantly going in a million different directions at any time of every day. Too. Much.
So, here I sit, writing a blog about having writer’s block and subjecting YOU to READ IT! Did I say this STINKS!?!!
To the many topics sitting in a Word document on my computer just waiting to be written, I hope to write you soon!
To my brain…CHILL OUT!!! I want to be doing something more productive with you so TAKE A BREAK!!! PLEASE!!!
To you, my loyal followers…sorry I subjected you to such a mindless topic! I hope to bring you a much more exciting topic…or at least something worthy of your time to read VERY SOON!
To my writer’s block, I say BE GONE!!!!!

Writers block is awful!!! I went through a bad phase about three months ago. I found that changing my writing habits helped a lot. I used to mind map and brainstorm with other people, that helped to formulate ideas. Also I used a voice recorder to get things off my chest, it helped get the words out and then I wrote based on the recordings…try it

Thanks! I’ll give that a try! I do take notes when I think of something so that when I come back to it later, I can hopefully remember what I was originally thinking!! Maybe I should make better use of the voice recorder feature on my phone! Thanks for the tip! =)

Hope it works!! Try mind mapping software such as Mind Node which is great!
Keep at it and don’t give out, your talent will come through!
