Writer's Block
I don't have this
I don’t have writer’s block. I don’t like when people talk about things like this and imposter’s syndrome. I don’t have that. I have never sat down and been like wow, I don’t have an idea. Or I can’t think of something to write or how to say something. This does not happen to me. Do not group me in with you guys. I’m not like that. Writing is not hard. I just don’t want to do it. Because there’s other shit I want to be doing. I want to go hang with my friends. I want to go for a walk. I want to swim in the pool. I want to talk to the trees. I want to see a movie. I want to talk shit. I want to gossip. I want to cook. I want to eat. And then occasionally I want to write. And then I usually am having fun when I’m writing because that’s when I wanted to write. But even when I don’t want to write and I sit down to write because I have to or whatever I’m not like, “Ah fuck I can’t do this shit, I’m stuck.” That doesn’t happen to me. So don’t try to like find kinship with me about that. I don’t like that. It’s not relatable to me. Don’t try to bond with me about struggling at the thing you’ve chosen to dedicate your life to. I don’t find it charming. I find it confusing.


Same. I love to write. But those later drafts after receiving notes I am struggling to receive? That’s when I’m most like, “hey you wanna go on a walk?”.
had this exact thought an hour ago remembering how someone gave me a book of writing prompts to "generate ideas" not my issue boo boo. yes to everything stated here
