For a long time I thought that writer’s block was simply a person being unable to write anything at all and unable to come up with ideas for things to write about. While that is an aspect of the term writer’s block. I didn’t think of the alternative which was that a person would be able to write, just not producing anything worth publishing.
For a few months now I have been able to come up with ideas, research projects, and even create details for my writing projects for when I get back to actually writing. The problem was that I wasn’t feeling motivated to actually write. It was simply a bad case of letting life’s road blocks get in my way and affect my inspiration.
Even as I am writing this and trying to get back into the swing of things I still feel somewhat blocked. I mean I am beginning to feel more motivated and inspired to write and I am actually able to produce some wonderful work worth sharing when I get ready but I still feel that in many ways I am not back to my old self, full of inspiration and letting the muse take me on it’s many journey’s. I still feel somewhat blocked.
I am not sure which one is worse, being blocked in a way of not being able to create anything whatsoever, or being blocked in the sense of I can produce work but have it not be worth showcasing or up to your own expected standard of work. I guess I’ll have to get back to you on that one once I figure it out. Well I’m off to trying to be more productive today. Until next time, be blessed!!!
