I don't know about you, but I'm creatively drained.
I enjoy getting content out through my blog and I love working on my different works in progress, and it's not like I haven't written a lot recently. I was a guest blogger on the professional writing department's blog, along with writing for my own. I wrote a new devotion and worked on a couple book reviews, updated my website, not to mention I wrote a complete manuscript over the summer. That's a lot. So why am I having a creative block? If you're hitting the same wall, the first thing you need to do is figure out why you're not particularly motivated. Now, for me, I know it's a combination of a few things:
Now that we have a general idea of what's getting in the way, we can tackle the problem. For me, that's going to be difficult. Anxiety is a big part of my life, and while I know how to cope with it, it can still bog me down. That's where music playlists based off my different manuscripts come in handy, or just taking a break from the story I'm trying to work on for a few days. This might be the key for you, too. There's nothing wrong with a break from the craft. You're the one in control of your writing schedule. Use that to your advantage. I know this is a little different from the last few posts I've written. It's been a topic I've wanted to talk about for a while, and I'm glad I did. Now that I know why I'm having trouble with writing, I can fix it. Honestly, a few days away from writing might be good for me. I hope this is helpful to you, too, or the process I went through, at least. Creative block isn't fun for anyone, but remember you'll pull through eventually. Keep writing!
