Let?s try visualization: Imagine that this pencil is your writer?s block. And then snap it in half and go ape-shit crazy. No, just kidding. Go back to visualizing.
It?s been called to my attention by a very voluptuous,?Strawberry-locked?friend of mine, that?many are experiencing a serious bout of writer?s block at the moment. ?Throw me in the mix. ?However, I?m not ready to hit the panic button just yet. ?I think I have an explanation. ?And a solution?
?Let?s put our heads together and have ourselves a Block Party for Writer?s Block ? ?A Writer?s Block Party!
Another good idea that you can thank me for later.
Here?s the scoop:
I just realized the other day that everything that I post requires a hell of lot of work.? All of it a testament to my perfectionistic (I know it?s not a word, bite me) personality.? So for tonight, and tonight only, I?m shutting off the internal monologue. ?I encourage you to do the same.
I?m finding it difficult to sit in front of a computer night after night? trying to write.? Key word: trying. ?I?ve?noticed that sometimes it works, and other times it?doesn?t?? When the words are flowing and sentences are writing themselves, I know that what I?m writing about is something that I feel strongly about. ?However, when I?m forcing it, someone else may as well be writing for me.? It?s not the authentic me speaking, and authenticity, to me, is really important.
Trying to write something is like trying to pinch a loaf on a low-fiber diet. ?It?s straining and could potentially cause serious health problems.? This whole thing is supposed to be fun ? not work, but sometimes it feels like just that. ?If things aren?t?flowing (pun intended), maybe it?s best to step back and have a casual writing session.
Enter: ?Stream of Consciousness.
Last one in the pool?s a rotten egg! Dur.
I made a personal goal for myself tonight:? free write. ?Just write for the hell of it, and not for any other reason.? I don?t care if two people or a thousand people read this.? I?m just writing for the fun of it. ?A random thought popped into my head and I?m running with it.
If you do pop in and join the Writer?s Block Party, I?ll be around to hash out all of our frustrations?in the comments.? After that, try free-writing, yourself.? It?s a liberating feeling.? Remind yourself tonight that this all about having fun, and do just that.? Write for the sake of writing ? not for any other superficial reason.
Let?s get a brain storming session going tonight.
And then, let?s all do the hokey pokey together, because in essence, that?s what it?s all about.
Let the fiber be with us. ?
-Happy Blogging \m/
