It finally got me o! 😅
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I haven’t been writing as consistently lately. I’ll start something, get halfway through, and then suddenly feel like, nah, this doesn’t sound like me. It feels off, a bit vague, and I just leave it unfinished. Someone even told me, “My mom has been asking why you haven’t been writing.”
I think writer’s block caught up with me , which is strange because I write every day. Literally. But maybe it’s one of those seasons where your mind just isn’t in the right place to express what’s inside. You want to say something meaningful, but the words just won’t line up. Anyways, let’s talk about it have you ever had a moment like that, where you just couldn’t find the words?
What is writer’s block? Because some of you are like what’s thatttttttt? 😂Writer’s block is when someone wants to write but can’t get the words out. It’s that frustrating pause where ideas feel stuck, inspiration disappears, or nothing you write feels right.It can look like losing motivation, even for topics you usually love writing about. Maybe staring at a blank page or screen and feeling nothing comes to mind. Starting to write but stopping because it feels “wrong” or “boring.” Thazzzz it.
So I’m writing my way out of writer’s block. A bit paradoxical, I know lol but maybe that’s what works, right? Figuring it out by actually doing something. I’m not sure how long this phase will last, but I don’t want to get to that place where I completely stop writing. So, I’m doing something about it now. I recently introduced the book of Proverbs and while that’s not hard for me to write about, I’ve just been… demotivated.
One thing about me when I want to write a book, I don’t take long. I’m a fast writer, and most of my inspiration flows as I write. Almost all my Yielded Center blogs about 90% of them were written on the spot. No drafts, no planning ahead; I’d just get a topic, meditate and start writing. So for me to now take 15 minutes to write a single paragraph feels strange. It makes me feel like I’m not doing my best, and honestly, it bores me. But at the same time, I’m learning to give myself grace , to slow down, to not rush the process, and to find my footing again, even if it takes a little longer this time.
Today, after failing to write, I decided to check my blog statistics and make a few small changes and to my surprise, people have still been reading. Even up to yesterday! I just sat there thinking, wow. I honestly didn’t expect anyone to still show up here, especially since I haven’t really been showing up myself. But thank you , truly. Thank you for reading, for being here, and for being that extra bit of motivation I didn’t know I needed. I’m taking it bit by bit, and hopefully, I’ll find my drive again.
I’m not writing any book at the moment and that’s intentional. I told myself I don’t want to, at least not yet. I’ll probably start something new towards the end of December, going into the new year. For now, my two books are available on my website, and there are so many blogs here for you to read while I find my spark and my groove 😅. I love you guys! ❤️
