Chance Would Be A Fine Thing

What can I do to get my creative juices flowing again?

I have been struggling to write lately because I simply cannot put pen to paper. I have tons of ideas but when I try to write, I am dead in the water. I am absolutely capable of writing. My problem is not ideas it is translation, making sense of my thoughts. If I cannot make sense of my thoughts, I cannot put them on paper and you cannot understand what I am trying to say.

Today, I am changing my schedule. I am doing things differently than I normally do them. It is early. The house is quiet and I am not distracted by thoughts from my day.

Just Write

I had forgotten how clear my mind is in the early mornings. I have had my spiritual principles in a cup. I have prayed. I am writing. The only way out of this rut I have found myself in is through. I am not waiting for the perfect words. I am just writing.

So Many Ideas and No Words

I have had some great ideas lately. I sit down to write and cannot seem to narrow down what I am wanting to say. Generating ideas has never been a problem for me. It is not now. My problem is converting those thoughts into words. The issue is I have been confused about what I want to say about my topics. I need to condense my main idea into a short sentence to better my chances of completing the topic. I need to crystallize my point and not allow myself to take it into a million different directions.

Who Says You Have to Start From the Beginning

I am going to revisit my feeble attempts from the week and begin writing on the parts I know best. I will work from there. Just because it is called an introduction does not mean it is my beginning point while writing.

Would love to hear from you! What do you do when the words will not come?
