bloggers block?

Yes, I have a tendency to drop off the face of the earth without warning, and yes it is painful.

I've been thinking about writers block. It's not a foreign concept to me at all. It's like a giant  pink and black striped wall made of bricks .... oh yeah, and only I can see it. What do i mean by this? well. I know i should keep up with this and with that and there's always a strange series of things that keep me from writing.



On one hand I could be lazy. I could
Just as easily write down any, and everything
I want to. If i just wanted to.

On the other hand, I could be

 weighed down with work/school

or have gotten sick

or maybe have just been too tired to write.

But when these two scenarios combine it's like that pink and black wall is right in my face saying "hey, you haven't written anything in a while., uuuh maybe you should uhh get on that." but it's also like "Writing is cool, but daydreaming?That's where it's at. Let's do that instead" 

Once again i get distracted by myself or life and just don't end up writing anything. I know i could be writing but i'm lacking in motivation and inspiration.

1. I said all that to say this: Think up ways to beat writers block, and actually writing them down, is in fact beating writers block. (Should i say overcoming writers block? hmm word choice...)

2.Which brings me to my next point.: why do write? I'll be completely  honest. This blog is basically for me. It really doesn't matter if anyone reads it. Don't get me wrong, personal problems aren't going to be posted, because well.. they're personal.

3. what's fun about writing? I'm a fan of word choice. If you haven't notices the plethora of asides in my posts dedicated to saying  "should i write this or that?". I love words. The connotation verses the denotation of words are  amazing. Here's and example:

Say you're at a funeral and you walk up to someone whose loved one just died. To offer your condolences to you say 

A) I'm sorry    or    B) Forgive me

4. Inspiration! Yup! I'm sure we all knew this was coming. I LOVE fairy tales. Not just thee Disney ones, I mean all most of them. I'm also really into knitting and crafts. Whatever you decide to write about will end up reflecting part of you so think about what inspires you. You can make a list of things you like and go from there.

5. writing challenges. You could partake in writing challenges with a specific theme. It's a great way to get ideas (I think i should probably finish the one I started....)

6. Relax. Not every post, story, written work you write is going to be a master piece. Brahm Stoker wrote Dracula and....and...and... um...  (haha that was a joke. He wrote the jewel of seven stars, the snakes pass and many other books, but none of them were as well received as Dracula. Some critics have even gone on to say that Dracula was the only "good" book he ever wrote. I don't agree with this, since the Snakes pass was one of my favorites by him.) The point is, not everyone is going to like everything you have to say/write. That's totally okay. It's not the end of the world.(Although, i'm not sure what comforting advice i could give you if it were. Hmmm, maybe something like "It's the end of the world, sure, but you didn't cause it.")

I guess that's all that was on my mind, so I'll stop now.
