When you’ve put off your writing because you don’t feel like writing, because you don’t have any ideas to move the story forward, because you’re too tired or too busy or too stressed out — think about ‘ A Writer’s Block.’ In other words, a neighborhood block with houses lining the street and you live in the first house. Next door is your favorite author!
Suddenly, you want to write because you’re living next to your favorite suspense author. And living next to him/her is your favorite historical fiction author. And next to her/him is your favorite bookstore where you like to browse and buy books. All along the block are favorites of yours: authors, people, bookstores, etcetera.
Well, in your minds eye, ‘a writer’s block’ is ‘real’ because you’ve been to all these places and possibly met these people either in person or through their writings. In your mind, there is ‘a writer’s block’ where you live next to all of them. And this can inspire you to keep writing, keeping in mind that you are part of ‘their’ family.
You are writing because you’re one of them! You can’t just stop writing. God has gifted you and you’re using your ‘writing gift’ to honor Him and bless your readers. ‘A writer’s Block’ can remind you how important your writing is now and will be after you’ve kicked the bucket. Your writing will live on after you’re gone. So, for Heaven’s sake, keep on writing!
