Writing and Life Series #3: Writer’s Block and A Collaborative Invitation
I’m sure countless blog posts have been written about how to “deal” with writer’s block. Though I’ve only been blogging for a couple of months, I have been writing for over 10 years.; meaning that I am interested in this topic, as it happens to me from time to time. Further, I’m interested in ideas you have, and strategies you use to become unblocked.
A couple questions to guide the conversation
- When does writer’s block affect you most?
- What happens when you are blocked?
- How often do you have writer’s block?
- What strategies do you use to unblock yourself?
Alright, so in this post then, I will address these questions from my standpoint, and then invite you to comment on your’s.
When does writer’s block affect you most?
Interestingly, I’m not sure there is a pattern I can discern about the timing of writer’s block for me. I know that there are times when writing is easy. When the words just flow through me and onto the page. I once thought that “being in the flow”, was a product of feeling more inspired about a piece. I’m not sure if that is actually the case. Why?
