With being a writer, there are days that are good and days that are not-so-good. One of the major enemies of the writer is writer’s block. Writer’s block is often defined as a psychological issue that prevents a writer from…surprise…writing. There are some other factors that contribute to writer’s block, but for me, defeating this problem, comes to determination and execution.
I do not know where you are on your writing journey, but for me, I am not happy with my progress over the years. Lots of ideas on this and that, and the determination is there, but the execution is not. Yes, a day job is a reality in my life, but the desire to be a full-time writer pulls on the strings of my heart ever so often. Of course there are a few stories of how a now-famous writer left everything behind, endured a lot of suffering (from being barely able to take care of themselves), and wrote something magnificent and became rich and famous. I am less adventurous, and it is certainly not because I don’t believe in myself. I just do not calculate leaving a secure place to take a chance on something that is unsecure right now, especially when this much-desired change can be done in transition. The main thing in this thought is that while being secure in the current, I have to make time for the desired goal. Maybe you are like me, at a point in your life where you really want to indulge more in your writing, whether it is for fun, relaxation, hobby, or career. Whatever the desire, if the determination is there, I want to encourage you as I encourage myself, to take the next step and find a way to execute more time to writing. Maybe it is an article, a poem, a book of poems, a novel, some social media material…whatever it is, for me, it’s time to, as Rocky Balboa said, “Go for it!” For me, “Going for it!” means I and still riding the desire to write more, but I am also moving into the next gear of execution. This means finding a consistent time to write, even if it is a small amount of time to start with. If your desire to write is still alive, what will you do to begin executing to feed this hunger? Please share some of your plans (execution) here. I am sure someone will be helped with what you have to share. Thank you and happy writing! -MJ
