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.

Theres this possum that comes into my backyard sometimes but I haven't seen him in ages and then magically he came back last night and jumpscared the bejeezus out of me

AND TONIGHT HE CAME BACK, BUT SO DID THIS RANDOM CAT?!?!??

And as I am typing this, said cat is currently up a tree with said possum, fighting most likely, and I can't do anything about it other than throw rocks at the fence to make a noise and scare them off. My poor rabbit Braveheart is trying to get back to his hutch next to the tree the cat and possum are stuck in, and because of those animals he won't go anywhere near it so now I have a rabbit, a possum and a cat loose in my backyard
