Ever had writer’s block from too much writing? I’ve felt like that the past few months. Through grad school applications, I must have written 90 odd essays since July. As a result, I haven’t had the mind space or inspiration for non-career goals related writing. Ironic, though, isn’t it? I didn’t know too much writing could be a source of writer’s block.
As I take a much needed break from applications, I’ve decided to get back to writing. I’ve always written when the urge hit me, when inspiration struck, using it as means to express my thoughts when I couldn’t perhaps do it any other way. Having spent the past few months forcing myself to write something every day, though – a lot of which I enjoyed, some of which was a chore – I realised that I don’t necessarily need to wait for inspiration to strike. Anything can be written about. With that happy realisation, my inability to write outside of application essays over the past few months has prompted my first blog post, a suggestion I must give my father due credit for.
On that note, I’ve finally taken the (brave, in my opinion) plunge into the blogging world, with this, my inaugural post.
One thought on “Writer’s Block”
