So I have been writing since… I can remember, let’s say at least 15 years. From short stories about all kinds of stuff to more fleshed out things, I just love expressing myself creatively, you get what I mean right?
So anyways, since I would say 3 years or so I couldn’t write anything. I really want to continue, but I just can’t get myself to do it. And I don’t want to force myself because maybe then it turns out to be just bad, you know?
Maybe it’s my personal situation that has changed, maybe it’s just something that keeps me from it… but I would like to know what you do of you experience a writer’s block!
BTW this is my first post on here since I just registered on here and I want to try leaving Reddit… just FYI
Another suggestion is to check out some writing prompts and see if anything jumps at you. I don’t write much, but when I do it’s because an idea just… sticks to me. @morgiedama mentions dreams, which sometimes inspire me as well.
Unfortunately my favorite source of writing prompts is r/WritingPrompts (currently in the process of saving the ones I’ve marked over the years) but hopefully there are other sources around as well that might jump start the creative juices a little.
Yes, I love this Subreddit (oh sorry, said the forbidden word haha) but yeah, I didn’t save any prompts they posted because there were some really cool ones there! That would be a great idea and maybe something like that will show up here eventually as well?
I’ve seen a couple of people post prompts (actually have a work in progress for one of them) and I’ll probably post the ones I saved in the future as I try to write something for them. I definitely would love for that to be an aspect of the community here.
