Writer's Block

The words alone make me shudder. I want to be productive, I want to write, I want to blog, I want to work on this project that I am so passionate about I am pretty sure I will burst if it doesn't get out soon. But, hey there, *headache* *job search* *chores* *staring blankly at my computer screen because I know exactly what I want to write but I am pretty sure that every sentence is empty and really who wants to read someone ramble on anyway except maybe I am being too hard on myself because it might actually be good and I mean everyone knows writers are apparently neurotic so just keep working at it* or whatever the issue is that day.

There are many things in life that are reliable. Death, taxes, your favorite show being cancelled too soon, and writer's block. I think I may have found the trick, though. Take a selfie, post it to social media, whine about the block for a bit, then go and write a few paragraphs. If it doesn't work for the book, you can blog about it, right? It isn't procrastinating, it is free writing, a time honored way to break through that wall. And I mean it, I think it worked. I need to edit what I wrote, but I actually got some ideas down for two chapters once I get through my tantrum. Thanks, Instagram! I'll have another confession up this weekend!

What do you do to overcome your procrastination mental blocks?

the best part of writing from home is no one judges you for not wearing makeup
