Not in the Mood to Write

I supposed to be writing some articles for clients tonight but I can't really force myself to do it just yet. Maybe later I have to deal with the articles that need to be written. But for now, I'm enjoying to comment on the discussions around here.
I'm just not in the mood to write about product reviews yet. But I'm feeling guilty not doing them right away. So I have to leave this post and deal with the notifications again later.

This is how I felt today when I was figuring out what topic to post, but never came up with anything. My muse has left me apparently!

It seems that it happens to most of us somehow.

@jvicentevalera True. I can't really make that much post. Maybe one everyday if I can.

I used to write articles for a client. It was on a writing site called UpWork or something similar. I also wrote on some writing sites online. I know the feeling of not wanting to do it. It is best to plow through them so you don't have to think about them anymore. Writing is tough work, especially if you have to research as you write.

That's true. Since it's a content article, I need to do the research and all.

@akalinus I agree. But I was able to do it again so I'm good.

@cherriefic The best thing when you have to do it, just do it. Starting is the hardest part.

It might help to think of it more as "the way you help others do what they have to do (when using the products)" and not so much "an amount of work that YOU have to do."

@cherriefic Umm, no. Writer's Block is more like 'when you WANT to write something, but can't think of what to say (either because you can't think of the words to describe it, or you can't even think of an idea ... I think it's been described as 'The Blank Page'---where you're at your paper or typewriter, ready to write SOMETHING, and the words just won't come)

@mythociate I know what I've got and it's not writer's block. It's laziness! 
I'm over it and I've written 5K words already so I'm cool with it.

Yeah, sometimes thinking about it makes me feel tired already. I think it's what every writer called the writer's block.

I lost my writing mojo a couple of months ago and haven't felt like writing since. Have a great day.

Maybe it's just lack of inspiration to me. I need to read more once again.

@LindaOHio It should be when you feel ready to do it again.

Writing is one thing that can't be done at all if we are not in a good mood.

I agree. It's not going to have good results.

I could feel you as I am about doing some tasks for writing articles too. It's good you are feeling guilty and go to write. Hope you can finish the article well.
Is it for particular website?

WE also have that feeling. I agree you can't just force yourself.

It's the hardest thing to do. But sometimes we need to do that to win over ourselves.

I'm trying my best to do that but sometimes, it takes a lot of convincing myself.

Sometimes, it can take a lot of effort to do stuff we don't feel like doing.

It happens and it's wise to utilize your time on other good thing like you're doing here
