I’ve been facing a block these past couple of months. It’s felt like I’ve been standing in front of a wall with no doorway to the other side. The other side being my creativity. Instead there’s been an emptiness where the passion was.
Some might call it burn out, I’ll call it laziness and being stuck in a writing rut.
I’m not a believer of writer’s block. If you want to write that’s just what you have to do. Write. Sit ass in chair and type away on the Macbook or move the pen over the page, letter after letter, word after word until you build a sentence, then a paragraph and then something magical.
There’s a gazillion and one topics to discuss and write about that at times it’s easy to lose focus. Too many ideas that don’t come to fruition can do that to you. It’s easy to ask questions - but is it good enough? Will anyone care? Am I going to be laughed at? Ridiculed?
Sure all those are possible.
But what if what you write touches someone at the core. Just one person. That’s enough to make what you’ve written worthwhile. Did it make you feel better to get it off your chest? You’ve done yourself a favor.
Some people play a musical instrument. Others go running. If you’re thing is writing, then that’s what you should do. Just write. You can edit the crap out of it later.
