So guys, like the title says, I have a lack of ideas for my blogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn’t expect this day to come so soon, but it was bound to happen eventually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I hate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lacking ideas is the closest I\u2019ll ever get to my own personal hell. The fact that I can\u2019t just whip something up in 20 minutes that I\u2019m proud of is genuine torture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, I know that this is far from just a me thing. I can guarantee that anyone who has ever written in any capacity has experienced that dreadful lack of a spark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many causes for this, but I believe this came about because I haven\u2019t really been writing lately\u2026 Like, I write daily, but that doesn\u2019t mean I continue to write after that or are even proud of my daily practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The closest I\u2019ve gotten to writing for leisure recently was at coffee house when I had some sort of epiphany and scribbled a few lines on the back of a poster (which has not been pursued past that even though I believe it would make for a very nice poem about my childhood).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting real vulnerable here, I\u2019m currently feeling a lack of pride in my work. Not in a \u201coh I suck I\u2019ll never be good enough way,\u201d but in a \u201cI am having some of the worst writer\u2019s block of the semester right now,\u201d which is saying a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll admit that even as I\u2019m writing this right now, I\u2019m only doing it for the deadline. I hate that a grade is the only reason I\u2019m writing right now, and I almost never get into that state, but it\u2019s the unsavory truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writing is hard sometimes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It isn\u2019t always a continuous flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which, we\u2019re all writers here, and I know I\u2019m just preaching to the choir or whatever, but these are the thoughts I\u2019m having at the moment and all I can really do is share them with you all or I\u2019ll sulk and feel worse about my inability to write at the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I guess what I\u2019m trying to say in my own scrambled way is that it is ok <\/em>to hit a block. It is ok to not necessarily be proud of your work. That work you push into the dust covered corner of a folder is the most important part of writing. That work is perseverance, and it\u2019s the only way to become better in your art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So guys, like the title says, I have a lack of ideas for my blogs.
