My mind is as blank as this sheet of paper

I'm telling you, my brain has stopped functioning. I think I am losing the ability to put together words. When I saw this picture I though, oh my, that shows what is in my mind. Nothing, absolutely nothing. I don't mean that I am sitting here drooling and twirling in circles, I just mean that I can't seem to write my way out of a paper bag. That's pretty bad. Other than that I am having a wonderful day. A friend stopped by with her newest grandson and stayed to visit a short while. He's a cutie but I sure can see why God gave us children when we were young. Even though it is hot out there, yes it's in the 90's again today it really is beautiful and bright. What's going on in your world?

Looks like rain and it's humid enough for it. So I hope it does, just to alleviate the humidity. Other than that, nothing really. Nice quiet Saturday.

@just4him it's still hot and humid here. It's a bit overcast so it's not as bad as it could be though.

I hate days when I cannot think of one thing to write about. It drives me nutty. Lol. It is really hot here today as well, in the 90's and I am hating it!

@LovingMyBabies I seem to have more of a hard time thinking when I am hot.

I don't think you have nothing in your mind and that paper is now with this post full of words. I like your simile though. I can feel like my heart is like an empty cup and don't feel like writing much.

@Bluedoll isn't it funny how often we use similes to express how we are feeling. I am sorry your heart is empty at this moment. It will get better. Look towards better days.

I have a lot of days when I can't think what to write about either. That's what's so nice about myLot - if you don't have any ideas of your own you just go and visit other people's discussions.

@Gina145 that is one of the reasons I love it here. I can still read and comment even if I don't write.

As we get older, it is not easy to deal with little kids, it takes so much energy that we do not have anymore.

@marlina I know what you mean. I only watched him running from spot to spot I didn't do it with me and I feel as though I have run a couple of miles.

My mind isn't functioning either. I had hoped to get a article written but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. No one's fault but my own.

@celticeagle some days we just don't have the creative bone working. Today it is not as bad as yesterday though.

I need to get my mind running as well. I have to study for school next week, finish my writing and finish a video project. I woke up at 11 am today with a headache, and no, it's not because I have been drinking, which should have been fun, but no. I have a late start today and I do not even feel rested. I guess its my body telling me to slow down a bit as I have been working hard these past weeks.

@Raine38 you may be right - your body may need to slow down a bit for right now. Good luck with your video, and other school stuff. You'll be fine.

You're very funny! You may have a blank slate there but you definitely fill it up with smiles, which is wonderful! My day is going to bring some rain and with that, I will be napping! My bed keeps calling me and I'm more than ready to answer!

@CRK109 I love the rain, it seems to make me feel more creative - as long as it isn't thundering and lightning. Then it makes me feel more vulnerable.

@itsmejing don't be sad it goes away. I sometimes have no idea where to start either so I read some posts and I start getting ideas.

Seems like you have a type of writers block. Maybe you will feel inspired by the nice weather.

@tzwrites I get like that every now and then. I m sure nice weather would help but right now we are involved with a tropical storm that does not want to cooperate.

You did write a piece when you didn't have anything to write :) As students my friends made money by writing what are called"middles"in the local newspaper. And I could never think about what to write.It was as if everything had already been written about.Then one day a "middle" was published where the writer wrote about not having anything to write much like your post...and so that'topic' was over too for me .

@responsiveme sometimes it helps to just say you have nothing to write and for some reason it seems to open up the mind.

It is normal that sometimes things get harder! try to change something, maybe the place where you write, and some inspiration should come to you :)

@te2000 I have taken to keeping lists of ideas. I write them down and try to use one later.

@te2000 I will. I think I will sit in a different room. It might just help.
