“Tyler,” Carlos whispered against the shell of his ear. “Tyler,” another whisper followed by a sweet peck just behind his ear. “Wake up, my love.”  TK groaned and wiggled his body as he snuggled closer to Carlos. “Errrrmm, no.” He responded with a grumpy tone.  Carlos laughed lightly and let his hand roam down TK’s side to his hip, where he caressed the soft flesh of his hip bone with his thumb. “C’mon baby. We have work to do.” “No, I do not! I’m off today!” TK claimed proudly and pulled his pillow around his head, covering his ears.  “We have boxes to pack up before the crew arrives to help move.” That got TK’s attention, and he released the pillow, his eyes looking at his boyfriend. “We’re moving in today.” He smiled widely as his eyes connected with Carlos’s.  “Yeah.” Carlos mirrored TK’s smile before leaning down and capturing his lips with his own. “I can’t wait to wake up with you every morning.” He spoke as his lips began to trail down TK’s neck, leaving hot little kisses wherever they touched. “Fall asleep with you every night.” His lips journeyed over to his throat. “Knowing you don’t have to leave to go home.” Back to his lips, where he kissed him passionately. “Because you already are.”  TK reciprocated the kiss, giving just as much passion and adding some heat to it, wanting more than just his lips. But Carlos pulled away.  “Mmm, baby, don’t start anything we don’t have time to finish.” He chuckled. “Everyone is going to be here in two hours. We have to get the rest packed before they show up.”  TK groaned and rubbed himself up against Carlos anyway. “But you made me want more. It’s your fault.”  Carlos laughed and placed a hand on the side of TK’s face. “I promise you will have more later. When we are in our new home!”

What has Carlos been up to?

Writer's Block

You’re staring at the page. The cursor blinks like it’s taunting you. You want to write—hell, you even know what you want to write about—but it’s like your brain’s frozen. That, my friend, is the all-too-familiar little bitch known as writer’s block.

So, how do you fight it?

Here’s what’s helped me, and maybe it'll help you too.

1. Write anything, even if it’s trash

Seriously. Open a doc and let yourself write the worst possible version of what you’re trying to say. No pressure. No editing. You can always clean it up later. A messy first draft is better than no draft.

2. Change your scenery

Sometimes your brain just needs a different view. Go outside. Sit at a café. Write on your phone instead of your laptop. A small change can trick your brain into feeling inspired again.

3. Idea dump

Forget structure. Forget plot. Just go full chaos mode. Rant about your characters, the scene, or how much writing sucks today. That little brain dump might lead you to a breakthrough.

4. Read something short and good

A poem. A Tumblr post. A flash fiction piece. Sometimes reading a spark of good writing reminds your brain how fun words can be.

5. Accept the block, but don’t leave it there

Writer’s block is normal. It doesn’t mean you’re broken. It just means your brain’s buffering. Rest, hydrate, and be gentle with yourself. Then try again.

Writing is weird. Some days it flows like magic, and other days it’s like dragging your soul through the trenches. But if you’re stuck, don't give up on it— the words will come back.
