I have been experiencing writer’s block and it is extremely frustrating. I have an English class this semester and have to write 4 essays over the course of the semester – so far it has been difficult for me to complete one essay I am happy with. I hate it!! That has been weighing on my mind, stressing me out, making me anxious and crabby.
I like to write, but I find that if my energy is low (which it has been this past week) or there are other things going on it my life like this past week, I cannot write. I like to find a big block of time (alone time preferably) devoted to writing and lately that has been difficult. I don’t have trouble with blog writing because it is just me writing about me, though I have not been writing on here as much as I would like. Plus I keep going back to my old idea – the more I write, try to write everyday no matter what the subject, make it a habit…the easier it will come. I just have to try harder and work on some self-discipline.
I need to change up my writing process or find one for that matter. Like I mentioned I like to have a big block of time, quiet time, in which I can write a whole piece in one sitting. I find it hard to write an essay or paper in a piecemeal fashion. I need to learn to do that though because seldom do I have that big block of quiet time, just small snippets of time.
Part of it is just settling myself to write. Part of it is not getting distracted. Yet another part is having the ideas at the ready. Energy too – energy is a big part of it. I need to find ways to help me get and stay focused as well as ways to drive up my energy. There is much work to be done on this, ugh.
