With millions of pieces of content available, is writer’s block overrated?
I’m not denying writer’s block. Regardless of what you’re doing, you might get stuck with the flow of thoughts. For creative people, this can be a deal breaker, affecting their mood, work, and sometimes even the quality of life.
But let’s think this through. What causes writer’s block? It’s often the lack of clear and satisfying ideas to move forward, right? If you’re stuck, what can you do? Find better ideas.
And, how can you do that?
By exploring the millions of pieces of content around us that might spark ideas. It’s not always about consuming more content, though. Do whatever stimulates your creativity and helps you come up with something good and satisfying to progress in your work.
I’ve made several excuses with writer’s block, but I once read a book where the author questioned the very existence of writer’s block. I find some fact in that perspective.
Finding ideas today isn’t so difficult. When you’re experiencing writer’s block, expose yourself to inspiring content, take a walk, or visit a friend. There are many ways to overcome writer’s block.
So next time, don’t use writer’s block as an excuse. Instead, find what actions can help you move forward.
Let “writer’s block” not interfere with your work and mood.
