Writer's Block: How Hard It Is Lately, I have been busy with a lot of things. I was busy doing work reports that I needed to comply with within an instant. I was busy thinking of all the things that I needed to prioritize and to do to make the best out of my time. My days were filled with productivity yet I still felt unproductive. Not to mention, I have a lot of things that I wanted to do such as unwinding in my comfort place, going to the cafe, going to the beach, and name a few. So many want in my heart but left unaccomplished because my priorities are not those things.
Moreover, I have noticed that due to the things that I did last week, I was not too active here on the platform. Instead of having a routine around here, I end up doing other stuff about work. With that, I felt guilty about not roaming around that much here. I'm guilty that I can't accomplish my daily reads and even post one article per day. I feel so exhausted most of the time that I just wanted to have some time to relax and to make the best out of my day by resting. Just so you know, as much as I wanted to post here every day, I noticed that something's inside my mind; not in a positive way though. I feel like a block was stuck around the flow of my ideas that I am having a hard time coming up with something to write. I noticed that even how much I try to extract meaningful ideas from my mind or look for inspiration around, I just can't and I'm still finding the reason why. As I tried reflecting on the pins and turns that I did in my life, I noticed how my busy life affected this way of my thinking. I noticed that my mind is being preoccupied with work stuff that no matter how much I wanted to write something great, I just can't. With my thorough search about this feeling that I'm experiencing, I realized that I'm having writer's block. ***"What is writer's block?"***
Writer's block is a condition wherein someone is having difficulty coming up with something to write. A condition wherein someone is having a hard time putting the ideas into words and coming up with a masterpiece. I'm a frustrated writer, but I'm currently experiencing this thing. As much as I wanted to, I just can't. No matter how much I try it's just so hard. Looking back, I also experienced this thing. I once tried writing on another platform, which was way back in 2016. Back then, things went great and the popping of ideas was so easy to put into words. I can write around 600-800 words in one sitting, and I can even expound the ideas that I have. I was once a frustrated beauty blogger and I posted articles about product reviews. Things went great, but in a snap, my glowing surrounding turned gloomy. The ambiance felt so different. I can't think of anything to write. Even though a product was so ready to be reviewed, I don't know where to start, I don't know to put a spot of ink on the blank paper that I have. In the end, I was on a hiatus in writing that time. And even though I have been on pause to writing, I still can't bring back the light that once dominated my heart. The flame that I once had was lost in vain. That's why right now, I don't want it to happen again. To my supportive friends, I appreciate all of your support in my journey. I wish you the best. I presume I'm having writer's block these days not because of the loss of motivation to continue, but because my mind is being preoccupied with a lot of things. That's why I thought of ways that might bring back my glow and return the things that I have for writing. Ways to Be Fine and to Write Again I already have things in mind that I think would work for me to be fine again. I believe that if I will do this again, I might ease this writer's block that I'm currently in. Unwind I believe that if I can unwind or go to the place where I will find serenity, my mind will surely be refreshed and I can write again; hopefully. Rest I've been feeling so exhausted these days. Maybe I need some time to relax and unload all the tiredness that I'm feeling. Try As much as possible, I will continue to write even if it's hard. I hope things will get better in no time. Closing Thoughts Indeed, it's so hard to have this writer's block thing. I hope things will get better in no time. I hope my mind will get refreshed again and things will be back to their normal state. Sending my warmest gratitude to the following individuals who are so generous to me: @CryptoEd0 and @alicecalope and to everyone who shared their blessings to me. I appreciate you all. **Date Published:** February 15, 2022

god help you dear keep writing
I remember working on a place, writing articles without having a single payment for 5 months. This is home now. I understand your feelings. Good going dear.
Same here dear Lucifer. It's like home and we learn a lot here and find a lot of new virtual friends
I appreciate this sharing of yours my friend Lucifer, hope things will get better in no time. I'll work for it.
That's normal my dear friend. I also feel that way. Sometimes I need to rest my mind and unwind to make myself ready to face another journey again. Writing is not also my thing but because of readcash I learn a lot of different things here. I feel inspired by reading the articles of other writers.
I probably should do that as well my friend; looking for inspiration through reading other articles. Howbeit, the hectic schedule is making that blurry these days.
Well same here busy at daytime at work. Now I try to write at night time
Yayyy, we can do it my friend Alice. Let's hope that amidst all the difficulties of life, we can still reach our goals in this platform.
Yes my friend we can surely do it
Experiencing writer's block is not easy. There will be moments that you will feel bad about yourself and failure. However, seasons like this doesn't last forever. Sometimes, all we need is to give ourselves some times to breath again.
I appreciate your words my friend. It reminds me that things will be better soon. Until now I'm still having writer's block. Hope to see improvement soon.
you deserve more, thank you
I am always having writer's block. reading helps me a lot to come up with a topic although not always. And yes, unwind can really helps
Would surely do that when I will have longer free time my friend. These days, my schedule is pretty hectic and I feel suffocated about it. Hope that my schedule will become loose soon and this writer's block thing will leave my life.
It's okay dear, I think it is normal most specially if you have other things to be done besides from this platform. I got to experience it too even though I am not a writer. Hoping everything gets better next time:)
Aweee, thanks for reminding me that what I'm feeling is pretty normal my friend yhanne. I just hope that things will be better soon. I hope my schedule will soon be loose for me to roam around freely here.
I can totally relate with you, as currently I'm suffering from this. I have lots of topics which I want to write here but I don't know why I just can't. I think we need to give some rest to our mind. Wishing you for better days.
I also feel that if we were given enough time to rest, our minds will feel refreshed again and the popping of ideas will soon be fine.
Sometimes it's happening and mostly with me because I Also working on it and I hope some better moment arrived in my life because every hardworking doing my dear , you can do it and this is absolutely great you are also doing well my dear Have a great day with best wishes for you
I appreciate your words my friend. I just hope that things will get so much better soon.
My dear friend, the author block sometimes happens to me, we just shouldn't let it go on. Surely your mind is busy in many places these days and that is why you can't get the necessary inspiration to write. Just as a little rest and relaxation can be a good help...
I just hope that the workload in my life will not be as heavy as now my friend. Maybe if that will happen, I can give time for myself to rest and will soon ease this writer's block that I'm feeling. Anywya, I appreciate your words.
Just keep trying and soon enough your bright ideas will bloom and boom again. I am not a good writer myself, I am not so good as well in putting taste into my words to catch the reader's attention but I am working on it.
We can do it my friend. Anyway, just by reading your comment, I could sense that you will shine brighter in no time. How you craft your words are truly astounding.
esta muy bueno el tema que estas presentando, muchas veces no sabemos sobre que escribir o tenemos el tema pero no sabemos de que forma vamos a presentar el tema, aquí soy nuevo y escribí el post de presentación pero no me lo han aprobado pero en Noise he escrito cerca de 300 post, saludos.
Most of the time I also experience it, as a matter of fact i have lots of unfinished articles in my drafts, in one day before i can finish one article, i have already drafted two to three articles as I always lost of words, like my mind just stop from functioning and continuing is difficult 😅.
