Writer's Block

Read Micah 1-3

Micah 3:8 "But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin."

We call it writer’s block when we can’t think of anything to write. If we can’t write because we don’t have the tools like something to write with and something to write on or because we can’t find the time, we don’t call that writer’s block.

Since writer’s block is a mental issue, we have to address it mentally. If we have run out of ideas, we might try things like freewriting or journal writing or even making a list—something that we don’t have to write and which isn’t expected to be any good.

We might try writing something different—try fiction if we are stuck in our nonfiction writing, for instance. Or we might need to give our minds and ourselves a break by doing something physical like pulling weeds or taking a walk or by declaring the rest of the day a write-free holiday.
