I feel this morning having writer's block.
We all been there.Sitting in front of a blank screen
the most weird thing about writer's block it can strike anytime.
Maybe I need a new angle.This morning is it not working.
I am still staring at the screen and wonder to myself if I can come up with something.
Maybe I should make a note every day.Today I am going to write about?
I know there is a lot to say here,but cannot get to it.
Guess wait awhile maybe something might come up.
or mike may have some news for me?
Okay this is my rand for this morning.
This can happen to anyone.
Have a good one

Yes, it can. I used to laugh at people who said they had writer's block, until I experienced it for the first time and found out how totally frustrating it is. That's one reason I have so many books going at one time. When I get stuck on one, I can turn to another.

@marlina It was. When I heard it for the first time, I thought it was an excuse for a writer not to write. I felt the same about PMS. I still do feel that way about PMS - a doctor's excuse for why women are the way they are. However, when I experienced Writer's Block for myself, and felt the frustration of the absence of words, I found a way around it. I started another book. I've started a lot of books due to Writer's Block. Now, when it happens I have a lot of options to choose from of stories that need finishing. I'm working on one right now that needs finishing and I finally know how to finish it.

I think keeping notes on what you'd like to write about is a good idea. You could even put the suggestions as post it notes on your monitor.

@amadeo I've thought about making a "blogging notes" notebook for myself and keeping it next to the computer.
