WRITER'S BLOCK : I Found The Answer

I'm sitting here, head on my fist;
Trying to write something clever and bold,
But whenever my hand on my wrist
Reaches out to the keyboard, I fold.
I withdraw and sit there a bit
Just hoping my juices will flow,
And my brain will regain it's lost wit;
Where it's gone, I never will know.
I say to my mind, "What is wrong?
Just where are those phrases and quips?
Pray, tell, what is taking so long?
Not a word wants to flow past my lips.
I say, "What's the issue right now?"
I reply with my eye on the clock;
"I can't think 'cause my brain has shut down;
So I'll write about my writer's block."

This is exactly what I am facing today! I got up in the morning, made up my mind that I will publish at-least two articles today and update my blog as well and as I was sitting in front of my laptop, I just realized I don't have anything to write about. My mind is completely blank and this is why I login to MyLot to spend some time with fellow MyLotters who knows I might get some good ideas.
Happy Weekend!

I think it's funny that you wrote about your writers block because I am going through the same thing! I keep saying that I want to write more here, and publish more on triond and update my blog etc. I know that writing and publishing is the easiest and best way to earn online but I have had nothing really to say for weeks now! If you find a solution to your writers block please do share. I usually LOVE to write but can't come up with anything to say :(

For me it helps to read up on what other people are writing about in my field of interest. Not that you have to copy what they are doing, but sometimes it can spark some inspiration. There is nothing really new under the sun so I'm sure other writers are writing about interests that are similar to yours.
For me it's poetry; So I decided to write about the thing that was bothering me the most...not having anything to say. Instead of fretting about it I decided to write about it. By doing so it, at least, got the creative juices flowing again.
