My Writer’s Block Won’t Beat Me Because of This Drastic Action
I’m stuck but refuse to stay stuck
So here I am, stuck for something to write. Sitting, staring blankly at the screen, unable to put anything down which in my mind is even remotely coherent or engaging. This is how it has been now for two months.
So, what to do?
Well, if we rewind a few weeks I had excitedly made myself a promise to write an article every day. I wanted to see what real consistency would do for my engagement here.
That day was the 1st of March. My previous article had already been a month previous and so my track record was hardly convincing.
Nevertheless, I was determined that March would be the month to really get things rocking.
Then, something happened. No matter how I tried, I could not get any thoughts down onto the screen. I would sit and wait for inspiration….nothing! I would run stuff through my mind….nothing! I would make notes and try to turn them into articles…nothing! So, basically for the past month, in which I was supposed to have written an article a day I had managed the sum total of ZERO!!!
And here we are, 30th March and I am forcing myself to get back on the starting blocks and write something, anything, even if it is rubbish.
