Dear lovely readers:
I have hit wall. Ha! Similar to the cartoon up top, a mental block. More like blogger’s writer block!
I have repeatedly for the past week tried to write a post but nothing seems to come to mind. I am a firm believer in creating meaningful content and refuse to post something for the sake of posting.
I am feeling uninspired.
Le sigh, what do you do to get over what feels like the BIGGEST writer’s block of life? Your ideas are very welcome!
So… incase you are wondering where I’ve gone, i’m granting myself a 2 week vacation from writing here and promise to be back re-inspired and posting regularly.
Yours truly,
Melissa
The F-word. 
As someone who has previously made his living from the words he writes, I completely understand writer’s block. The best way to get over it? Keep writing. I have over 100 draft blog posts in WordPress that I’ll probably never publish — but I wrote them. And while most of them are of low-to-mediocre quality, forcing myself to write even when I don’t have the inspiration made that inspiration come back a whole lot quicker.
So my tip? Keep writing. Write things that aren’t good, that aren’t inspired. Write things that make you cringe. Just write. You don’t have to share it all, but you’ll soon realize that your muse was just on a brief vacation and hasn’t run away at all.
Hi Melissa 🙂
Here’s my tip to get over your writer’s block – READING!
I read a lot of Canadian blog posts every day, and they help me come up with new ideas. When reading around topics you are interested in, keep a pen and paper handy, and jot down every random thought that pops into your head – EVERY random thought, no matter how mad!!
You’re bound to come up with some good ideas.
Thanks Sameer and Anna for your advice!!! I have done a little bit of both and think i’ve found my groove back =)
