Inspirational Blockage

Writer’s block? More like the inspirational blockage. It’s the drought that dries up your creative juices. It crushes your thoughts, impairs your ideas and before it’s all over you’re staring at a blank sheet of paper in desperate need of words. It’s frustrating and it happens to the best of us writers. The main character in this story is myself, a newbie writer eager to become an effective writer, but oftentimes I feel defeated by this complex problem.

The strategies I’ve utilized to work through this exasperating issue was to take part in daily writing prompts and challenges. I’ve learned that if I have a topic to write about, I can better pen/type those words down on paper. Being the steady reader that I am also comes to the aid of sparking creativity, giving me a flow of ideas to run with. When I’m at work or out and about, I try to be attentive of my surroundings and the people in and around my presence, giving me a helping hand with creating my characters. This isn’t the resolution to all of my writer’s block issues, but it sure does help me tremendously.
