Writer's block
Hey guys,
As some of you already know, I've been super busy over the past month or so dealing with various things. Since life got so busy, I was finding it harder and harder to find time (And the energy) to write anything. Then when I actually tried to sit down and write something, I couldn't get anything to flow the way I wanted it to.
I got quite frustrated because writing is a part of me, it's something I've been doing for more than half my life. So to suddenly not be able to do it was upsetting.
However... I finally came to the realisation that the reason why I wasn't able to write anything was because I was trying to force myself to do it, I felt like I was obligated to write something because I hadn't written anything in ages. Once I let go of that thought of "I should be writing something" and instead thought "I want to write because I enjoy it" suddenly the words began to flow as easily as they used to.
I wrote so much over the weekend. I wrote the last three chapters for a story I started months ago as well as laying out plans for another three stories.
So to all my fellow writers out there. Don't let having writer's block get you down. It happens to all of us. And never feel like writing is an obligation: do it because you want to.
Thanks to anyone who made it to the end of this. Love you!
