It Just Don't Come Sometimes

I think you should listen to what your heart says. Write a draft. Put all the random thought you have on that topic you're working on. When you think you're done. Start editing. You'll be deleting and replacing a lot of words and sentences on this stage but that's ok. It means you're making your article better and for your readers will appreciate it more. Hope this helps!hahahha!!

it is natural and human to do err it is ok. go ahead keep your straight

I even have that problem in my native language and I´m a professional writer. It happens to everyone. When I´m writing a story, sometimes I know there is a word, I know I know the word, but it´s not there. I leave a blank space and go on. I edit a lot when I write in my language. Many times I let the story alone and apparently forget about it. It´s because I feel I need to read it as if I had not written it. I am considered a good writer in my country, but I´d never sauy I´m a genius. The most I can say is that I like some of my writings and that time has been nice to them.

Yes I agree with you I also feel the same. When I'm out of words then I just read the discussions and responses here and play games. At my age I still play online games.

All writers come to that situation. Some experience "Writer's Block". Some writers write only when they have the drive. For professional writers, I am sure they make or they have for themselves a unique mediation or method that put them in their writer's hat. I experienced being an editor for a newspaper before and wrote a monthly column for a magazine. Like you, sometimes it feels like the words just don't come right... During those moments, I stop. I leave my laptop and treat myself of something. I go out for coffee or I go out for a walk in the park, I go to the mall or see a movie. I relax myself first, and by the time I come home, I am back there sitting on my desk and writing about something great.

Yes, indeed at times good words are HARD to find. I think taking a break would be good. If good words are needed spontaneously, I guess a good excuse would come in handy. :)

I think you should just write something, and it will start to flow more easily. You can go back and alter it later. I often have a block to start off with when I am writing blog posts.

I wish I could write professionally! I have a great imagination and I have some ideas for some books. Unforuntely What I have in my head for ideas I can't put down on paper! It is very frustrating! Very frustrating!

I think we tend to burn ourselves out sometimes. Forcing yourself to be an "inspired" "artist" is a contradiction in itself - I feel like it all has to come with time, naturally. I can never think of anything interesting to write when I sit down with the intentions of doing so, but OF COURSE when I'm dreaming or working or driving somewhere I always get inspired. It's inconvenient. I think maybe writers take a little mental break to get 're-inspired'. But I don't know, I"m not a writer!!~

Agreed. However I noticed that when we are tired, we couldn't produce much work and quality writing. For example yesterday. I travel down after work back to my home town and working is 9 hours and 2 hours driving. back home about 11pm and I decided to write some articles to complete my freelance project. Guess what? I couldn't even write a short 400 words article and my mind is totally blank. I decided to sleep and this morning I woke up (thanks to stomach ache) I wrote 3 articles. So, yes, rest is important!

Sometimes its just funny, I can write on Facebook and other social networking sites but I lack what to write on Mylot. Yesterday was such like day, I read many discussions but I posted or participated less here on mylot. I did not know the problems is for most people until I came across a discussion like this some days back. Keeping on practicing and reading posts made by professional writer here, has really helped me somehow manage my laziness, and I think am doing good nowadays.

I sometimes I don't feel like writing at all. I don't feel inspired and can not focus. When such days happen I don't post here I just read discussions. But also I have good days and I can post for many hours and I feel inspiration around me. But that is not every day.
