Writer's block. The inability to come up with new ideas for whatever it may be for. A paper, an article, or just a story to write to eventually publish. It's quite common for writers who have many things going on in their lives and start to slow down their "creative" side. Thing is that it's not a bad thing at all. I think it's a sign of intelligence. To me, writer's block is a sign that your mind slows down and tries to comprehend what to do next. Writer's block can affect writers at any level, amateur to the professional world.

I was having writer's block for the past month or so and I didn't know what to write about for Odyssey. I've written articles for Odyssey on numerous topics, but as the semester progresses, I couldn't come up with "creative" topics because my dedication to Odyssey was shortening every day. I had other major papers to write about that counted as my grade.

So one day, I just decided to write about the struggle to come up with a topic and how I felt mentally when it came to writing for numerous outputs. As the end of the semester is almost near, it does become easier to come up with ideas again. Writer's block is quite a phenom isn't it?

Writer's block is definitely a struggle in regards to writing pieces for many things to write about, but at the same time, it's a sign of intelligence that shows your mind is working and trying to keep your ideas clear and separate from the others. All great writiers go through it, don't be discouraged by it.
