Sometimes i don't know what to write about. I really have to think long and hard before I write anything. Mostly I write about what is brothering me. It helps me to get things out.

Yeah when I use to have to do papers in school It was hard for me I beleave the hardest part about writing is starting off because once you start it it gets a lot easier. Also on here ive had days where I couldnt reply to anything because I didnt know what to say on a bunch of post and that made me disscouraged and I stopped posting here for several months.

you guys are quite right ,cos for the past one week or so i have had a very tough time getting my head to get something to write ,in fact i sometimes try to log in to mylot account if only to respond to posts but i just could not figure out what to say in response so i just leave it at that,as its even difficult for me to read and understand but i guess am coming out of it now,its great to be back

You Know sometimes I don't know how to answer my comments too. So I just leave them alone. I haven't been doing this very long. But I try to respond to my post after I think it for a while.

I go through writer's block a lot. It kind of sucks because my head is full of ideas but then I just sit down, look at the screen and I have no idea how to get those ideas out. Good luck with that. Actually one of my teachers told me that I should just take a piece of paper and write the first word that comes to my mind and then keep on writting from there. It has helped some of the times that I've tried it. Other times I just forget about it for a while and start watching t.v or listening to music and then it sorts of gets unblocked.

That really sucks. But yeah I know what it feels like and it is so frustrating to just stare at a page and not be able to get out all those ideas. Good luck with that and hopefully you get rid of this soon.

I have writers block also. I think my poor mind is just so tired and wore out right now. I do so many things each day online to earn money and when I come to Mylot, I am so wore out. I have alot of other things to do each day around the home too and sometimes stress outweighs my thoughts.

it can be stressful if you dont give yourself the neccessary rest,no matter how strong you are your mind and your body need good rest to be able to carry out their functions perfectly,i have often begged you to rest,please do that,
