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

``Perhaps the world didn't just suddenly become a terrible place-Perhaps it was built on the shaky and unstable foundations of men who thought they were untouchable, of people who were so used to their way and used to the privilege of comfort, that when the cracks began to show, the trauma spilling and the affected began to yell their hearts out...maybe that's where it went wrong. Denial? Perhaps, but it's not as if the world just suddenly went on fire. Maybe it was always burning, and we just suddenly noticed. Not everybody knows how to extinguish their own paths and cool themselves down. All they know is how to fan the flames to make them spread, as that is what they've been shown. Maybe that is why we see the world is such an awful place-All we see is fire, the smoke clouds our vision and our judgement and we are hardwired to panic, and so we never see the fire extinguishers in the end.``
hii, on anon because i am Afraid but i just wanted to say that your poetry is really beautiful, i’m very glad it graced my dash

Fair answer
Wait, why Baltimore? I’ve only been there once-
Because Baltimore is cool
Dear, soulmate…
Connected by lace,
An Invisible brace,
Energy unknown,
Charming me to roam.
She could be right here,
Yet I’m left to peer,
Through the world’s faces,
Snooping through spaces.
She searches earth too,
Darting through green, blue-
Or, at least, I hope,
She looks for our rope.
I can only dream,
That she’s a sun beam,
Caught in an eclipse,
Wishing for my lips.
Across or far from,
Desire pounds drums,
Belonging, beloved,
Her I wish to love.
If I walk and pass,
Would her heart of glass,
Ache with desire,
Set her mind on fire?
Do our feelings link,
Pour out in a sink,
That collects and holds,
What we wish to unfold?
Do my eyes deceive,
Make my soul believe,
I will not find her,
And I’ll fade and blur?
Gasping for some air,
I want to be there,
Able to breathe free,
But with you, I’ll be.
Together we’ll hide,
With unbreakable stride;
We’re two girls in love,
Love handpicked above.
I will search and search,
Till together we perch,
Will see you, soul mate,
Our sweet love awaits.
(I know some lines break the meter but I love them too much 😭. Let me know what you think! )
uuhhh hi!! music thingy popped up on my dash, and i don’t really know your music taste, but jackboot jump by hozier is really good and the cardigans have a great cover of sabbath bloody sabbath
For Jackboot Jump:
This is one of my first times listening to Hoizer other than Take Me to Church and that other song that was popular last year lol. The song is pretty good; it reminds me of like a Home Depot or the country or something idk why, but it was enjoyable to listen to. 7.5/10
For Sabbath Bloody Sabbath:
I listened to the original song and the cover side by side and there was such a difference between the two! I like how in the cover it sounds kind of like elevator music or music that would play somewhere cozy or something. I don’t know if I can pick between the cover or the original though because I like both! I’ll also give this a 7.5/10
What country are you from? (sorry if this is too personal, I was just wondering)
also I hope you have an amazing day :)
It’s alright!! I hope you have an amazing day as well! :D
I’m from America! (Get me out get me out get me out get me out get me out get me out get me out-)
IDK WHAT A KILOMETER IS 🇺🇸💪🏾😈🤠🤠😤😤🤬🗣️🍔🍟 /j

``You may call me foolish, sensitive and unrealistic for crying tears of sorrow for the injustice in this world, yet I'd rather have a heart that beats to the rhythm of hope and determination, than a mind that has been cracked and beaten down too many times, by too many voices calling those very same things.``
