Writer's Block

What is it about making the choice to start blogging that causes one to have a major case of writer’s block? I was doing alright until a major meltdown happened (which caused the deletion of every post I had previously shared). Once I decided it was ok to start sharing again, I have come up with nothing. I can barely even get a single thought out coherently onto the screen. I even made an attempt to start that book that I’ve been contemplating writing for a great many years, only to come up completely wordless the second I decided to put it into actual words.

I had a ton of great ideas for this blog when I started it, and had quite a decent start the first time around. Now, I can’t even think of what ideas I may have thought about considering making into an article. I have made the assumption that maybe I’m better as a ‘keep it quick’ type of writer rather than someone who can go on an endless writing spree and create books/blog posts that the world will love.

I’m hoping that my creativeness will return quickly as writing has been a life-long dream of mine. I remember attempting to write stories as young as kindergarten but the same thing always happened as soon as the pencil would touch the paper. The things I was thinking, just couldn’t be written down in a way that expressed my thoughts properly and the harder I tried to write my thoughts down, the more blank my mind became until……. …… …… Where were we again? Yeah, it was, and still is that bad.

I read tons of different blogs where it seems that the person wrote effortlessly and came up with something amazing, inspiring, quick-witted, and completely fantastic in no time at all. And then there are those who are able to write a blog every day with (what seems like) no end in sight to their ideas and creativity. Then, here I sit, wordless and wanting so badly to get my thoughts written/typed down and nothing comes out. So, I guess I’ll just hang out and share my frustrations at not being able to come up with anything intriguing to write about until this writer’s block is lifted and my ideas are able to flow freely again.

Thanks for reading,
