There are times when I do experience writer’s block or creativity block and those are the times I need to step away. Today I had coffee with a person that is an emotionally abusive person and I left feeling stronger. I learned that when someone is stressful to me it causes a block. I let her know and came home and wrote. I have a promise to fulfill because there is a deadline and then another important post but for now, I doodled. More to come after a short break. How do you overcome your creative blocks?
Random Word: Creative Block
I love that idea. I will try that next time. Usually I try to have a break and either sleep on it, sometimes dreams will throw up an idea or have a soak in the bath, that often gets my brain working.

Truth be told, napping is my go to when everything else fails. It’s almost like a reboot to my brain 😉

Just experiencing life overcomes writers block. That situation with the abusive person gave birth to this post.

Writers’ block can be such a problem. I allow my mind to fall into the fogginess for as long as it requires, often resolving issues in reveries of one kind or another. Eventually everything (thankfully) resurfaces. I have found creativity cannot be forced. Sorry, that probably does not help an awful lot.

That does help. It’s like understanding different aspects of writer’s block from other perspectives. I’ll try anything once 🙂 Thank you for your thoughts 🙂

I often experience this type of blocks, personally or virtually. Sometimes an inappropriate news gives me the block and i fume for a gazillion hours pondering on it. I know, I am the one to suffer.. How do i get over it? Simple, I write a message directly to the person, or shout out to vent my block. Now, I have stopped shouting becos I dont have the energy to keep me active after shouting. I do something that i hate to do, an that releases my block. Sounds abnormal right? But that really helps. When you do something that u really hate to do, you are released from the stress.

Not sure how to overcome it. This sort of writer’s block happens to me too. Sometimes life causes creativity to vanish like smoke. The bright side is– the desire to write always comes back.

Life causing creativity loss is so very true. I really didn’t think a block was possible but it is. And it’s frustrating.
