If you are like me, working for an online publication and having a deadline at the end of every week for an article, you occasionally get writer’s block. Well, in my case, I am always getting writer’s block. Every week is a struggle in finding something new and enticing to write about. Trying to create a piece that will grab readers’ attention, keep them interested, and hopefully end the reading in sharing my article is something I would always love to see happen, although this is not always the case.

A lot can happen in one day. Often times we are bombarded with responsibilities and tasks that take over the day and force us to move aside from what we would rather do, like write or take time for ourselves. Granted this is not always the case, but we are very busy people! What does this have to do with writers block? Well, it is hard to come up with ideas when there are other things of importance in our lives. We are often distracted by what is currently going on that writers do not always have their creative juices flowing!

So, what a can you do during a long and consistent time of writers block?
