Writer's Block (Lesson 2)

Welcome my friend, 

Please have a seat, 

Let me tell you about the time when I had a writer's block.

It begins with me staring at my fourth rough draft on my laptop screen, and attempting to elaborate on my one and only paragraph.

"This. This is the only thing I could come up within a span of two hours. Wow. This is actually horrible."  

As I re-read my one and only paragraph, my thoughts begin to sound like this: 

Write something. Anything. Something. One thing. Do something. Something. Anything. 

I feel stuck and unable to move forward in this process. I am lost in the actualities of life, but I feel content with how events are unfolding. 

Life being life is panning out things at the right time; so, life is going steadily well. 

Yet, the same song plays in the background: 

Write something. Anything. Something. One thing. Do something. Something. Anything. 

Eventually, I come to the conclusion that this stagnant state could be a part of inspiration, 

(brief pause)

Inspiration strikes!  

With a serious face on, I decide to talk about having a writer's block. Then, half-way through my post, I am unable to think of any more words to say, leading me back to square one, and possibly my fifth rough draft. 

What do I do? 

Post it.

Be Your Authentic Self
