I have been staring at a blank page of writing for a while now. There are so many thoughts, and so many words that I have to share, but nothing wants to come out and play right now.
When I get stuck I usually just push through and keep writing, eventually something good will come out. Or at least that is what I tell myself. I don’t know that it is true, but it is a philosophy that has at the very least given me word counts on my “worst” writing days.
I would not say that it is writer’s block, as I do not feel like I have nothing to write about. No, this is almost the polar opposite. I just have too much!
What about you? What do you do when there are too many words to be said? Or when you are ever stuck staring at that blank page wondering what comes next?
Often when I get stuck, I’ll pick up a good book and start to read. Good writing always gets me going again.
I always find reading such an inspiration to writing! I am a firm believer in the camp of you can not write unless you also read! Actually that is what caused my little predicament! I read a whole book yesterday, then today, I had so many ideas/thoughts/words flowing through me, I could not channel them down to focus in any one area… leaving me staring at that blank page far too long.
