Arrghhh! Do I have writers block?
I'm sitting at my desk today to continue my training and one of the tasks is that I need to do is to write another article. The doubts have set in...is anyone out there reading what I am writing? Is anyone reading more than the first few lines? Is anyone interested in what I am writing?
I've done my research and carefully chosen a few key words for my next blog post...the key words look great on the top of a very empty page. I bold the font type...I underline it...then I put it into italics...then I change the font a few times...sound familar?...I think the official term is "procrastinating". Doesn't matter that I know what its official title is, I am still doing it. A lot!
Two coffees later...still playing with the font type.
Also, I found a great website that sells the most amazing red shoes...sigh!
Don't think today is the day for creativity.
Oh well, its sunny outside so maybe I can do some gardening instead!
And with that thought, I have come up with an idea for my blog. So the thought of gardening scared me more than writing...well that's procrastination in action!
One thing I realised doing this, its ok to have an "off day"...just keep at it. Little steps.
Enjoy, have fun, that's what life is all about
:-D

I know where you are at:) I often start Googling or surf around on Youtube, until the light goes on again and I get inspired to write again.

Writer's block is a very recurring thing in many fields, and it often happens when we're moving in a constant roundabout and we don't know how to get out of it. So, I definitely agree with the idea of taking a day off (or even a longer time) whenever it happens, because that well desired rush of inspiration comes from the least expected thing at the least expected time.
Thank you for your kind words. Its good to know that I am not the only one facing those problems.
