I am experiencing horrible writer’s block right now, so this was greatly needed. I can now trust myself to find the words and the story eventually. Thank you.

Oh yes, it’s happened to me many times before. Sometimes all it takes is one moment and it’s like a dam breaks. You sort of have to ride it out.

I’m going to start reading through an old story to hopefully pick it up again, it’s one I always enjoyed writing. And I’ve been trying to journal more, so I think that helps a lot.

That’s good. Any writing is better than no writing at all.

I like this, because I totally know the feeling.
I’ve been posting on my blog every day for a whole year now. I can usually type up anywhere between 2-5 chapters a night, depending on what’s happening in the story.
Well. The other night I totally broke my streak. My brain was just like “Pleeeaahhh…” and I just couldn’t think. I tried to write, but what I had written annoyed me too much. I deleted it and said, “Ehhh. I think I’ll just go to bed. 😦 ”
Fortunately, my brain was up and running again the next day.

Sarah, I’m glad you remind me of this, I feel much as you do at times, especially when talking to some people who say ‘I never get writers blog’ or ‘writers blog is just laziness’ I feel like saying, tell that to the greats! 😉 I am glad your words will always come back they must, they just must.

Oh yeah, you can feel uninspired or that what you’re writing is sub-par. That’s block. It doesn’t mean we can’t put words down, it just means we aren’t full on inspired. It most definitely exists.
