Writing with Writer’s Block

I love blogging. Blogging is fun and a wonderful way for me to share my favorite things with you. Have you tried the best cole slaw recipe, the chocolate peanut butter kale smoothie, or following my easy tutorial for a fun toddler adirondack chair?

Blogging is also hard. While my brain is constantly turning with wonderful ideas for things I want to share with you, it’s hard to begin writing with writer’s block. In my mind, I’ve started numerous posts on a variety of topics, yet each time I power up my Mac and sit down, my fingers do not glide across the keyboard.

It isn’t fun to be in a rut.

My mind wonders to experiences that make me angry and I get stuck inside my own head. This week, I am working to get out of that space. It’s dark and cloudy in my head. {Our crummy June weather hasn’t helped either, would you believe that I turned the heat on the first weekend of June?!}

I thought that maybe I could get out of this rut by writing about writing with writer’s block. Will this work? Who knows, but it cannot hurt to try.

Am I rambling? Yes.

Do I find it therapeutic? Yes.

Should I put a photo in this post to break up the monotony? Yes.

If you click on that photo, you’ll learn a few things you may not know about me. Cool, eh?

With this writer’s block, I’ve also stopped following my own advice for blogging smarter, not harder. My inbox is outrageously unmanageable and I am behind on responding to comments and supporting my fellow bloggers. Ugh.

So thankful that today is a new day. That a great group of bloggers, led by the super fantastic Darcy, is there to rally around me, pick me up when I’m feeling down and cheer me on. Thank you ladies, you know who you are!

My question for you, how do you make it writing with writer’s block? More importantly, how do you get out of your own head?
