Writer's block. Amazing. I can write for hours about nothing. Think of things to write when I'm not in a position to write anything, but the minute a blank screen or page appears before me, my mind is like a vast cavern totally void of any life or even light! Completely empty and just echoing back the nothingness. How the heck does that happen? How do you break that and move on with ideas?
Somehow you have to let your mind open up and start receiving signals again, but it seems all you can concentrate on is the emptiness of it all. I suppose thinking about movies and books you've read would help. But if you're looking for ideas for a book or story, you want to be unique. Of course there are books out there that duplicate ideas, and, as I've read, any book you write will be uniquely your own regardless of the idea. YOU will be the one writing it, so even if the idea is the same for a bunch of people, different books will come of it. Lately, I cant even come up with ideas. I need to work on that.
I need to start jotting down my ideas and letting them expand. One writer said to write what you love to read. Well, I love to read mysteries and courtroom drama... I think that takes someone who really knows all about that stuff. I don't know if I could do all that research. I love to read stories about animals... that is something I know. I think I could do that...
May the Lord Bless you this Sunday and grant you peace.
