Being a writer means that you may potentially reach a drought when it comes to ideas. You jot down so many great things throughout the week and when it comes time to put it all together, you're just at a loss and all of your ideas just seem as if they are not good enough to be published.

It's a stressful thing to experience, but it does happen. It's not easy to face the reality of being a writer that's at a loss for words, because you feel as if you need these constantly flowing thoughts to be productive and progressive in your authorial ventures. However, you need to be prepared for these moments. You need to realize that your mind is not a machine and you don't need to constantly strain its muscles to force ideas out of it. If the idea isn't there, then it's not there. Give yourself time to breathe and it will eventually come to you. Your writing must come from your heart, and the topic you're speaking on should be something you feel passionate about or connected to. Readers can tell when a writer shows dissonance with what they're speaking on. This is why having writer's block should be treated with time. With this time, start listing things that you feel strongly about and an idea will form out of that.

Understand that all writers are human. We are creative and when we get good material to write about, we can't stop writing about it. As writers, we live for these moments. Just because you experience writer's block does not mean that your talents are ultimately devalued; it just means that you're thinking deeply about what you want to write about next. Of course, it's annoying and irritating to have, but once we get a good topic, we take it and run and make something amazing out of it.

Next time you have a case of writer's block, don't let it get you down.
