Writer's Block

It's a common problem among humans who wish to explore their creativity through the written word. The stories that ramble on and on without end to an unimportant subject, the blogs that aren't written because a clear subject is missing or the overall message isn't different or inspiring enough, and the essay that needs to be written by tomorrow morning even though no theses can be thought of all share a common cause: the dreaded Writer's Block.

I myself have had quite a few run-ins with this most formidable of fiends. I consider myself to be a halfway decent writer, and brought it upon myself to create more than one stories. These ideas were to become full-fledged novels at some point, though few got beyond the second page in development because an idea was too vague or because I got caught up in adding detail to the beginning scenes and got completely caught up in describing the exact shade of purple that covered the main character's walls. I've had moments where I've sat idle at my computer staring at the computer screen with an open blog post that hasn't been written in because of a lack of ideas for the posts. But I'm beginning to realize now that it's all natural. Not knowing what to do is a part of life, and it applies to knowing what to write just as much as it does to kn'owing which way to turn on the road or which path to take in life. So in the future, I might have a bunch of jumbled thought blogs, where I just kind of ramble on a bit. Who knows, there might be a few inspiring ideas mushed up in there. Or, more likely, it'll be just someone else spewing random garbage all over the internet.
