Morning Journaling
This morning I took my own advice from Overcome Writer's Block Easily and I kept writing despite not wanting to write. In fact I had to repeat the same sentence over and over because I really could not think of anything to say. I thought I'd have to write a whole page or more, like when I was in grade school and made a spelling error and the teacher made me write the word over and over and yet over again. But this was quite different. This activity led to opening up my creativity, and I was able to write another few pages.
Nor could I have predicted what I was going to write because it was nowhere in my subconscious… to my knowledge. Yet, I was pleasantly surprised at what came out. I learned something from what I didn't know I was going to write. Needless to say my spirits were higher than when I was blocked.
I have used this activity many many times… that is the activity of keeping writing no matter what comes out. And each time, it has led to a gratifying outcome. I encourage you to keep writing, no matter what. And there are other tips to discover in Overcome Writer's Block Easily.
