Open-Ended Question: …Can’t think of a title

Nat Marie — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 08:42:24 +0000

As you have noticed, I run out of titles for my entries really quickly. Sometimes when I’m trying to talk about something mundane, like tv stands, that’s when it pops up. But there are moments where I’m just spewing with title ideas, but no blog ideas, and that’s just frustrating. So I would stay away from writing for days on end until I can’t take it anymore and just force myself. Like right now. What do you do when you’re out of blog title ideas? Or even blog ideas?

Open-Ended Question: Getting pretty creative there…

…Okay, maybe not. I’m going through the worst case of writer’s block ever. There would be times where I can throw in something about Fastin in a short story and actually buy it. Now I can’t even do that. Sometimes it’s just best to let go, and let it flow. However, this is annoying the holy shit out of me. So what do you do to combat writer’s block?

Note to self: Don’t force it.

Okay, so I’m going through that bout of writer’s block. And you know how some people say to “force yourself to write”?

Well, the more I force myself to attempt to write something, whether it be a story or a poem or something that has to do with tile flooring, the more I start to resent the art that I have a passion for. I’m all for being patient and waiting for something to come along. But when it comes to writing, I want it done now, and sometimes, realistically, it’s not possible.

So, here’s a note to myself: Don’t force it. Let go, let it flow. If I can’t do it now, I’ll do it later. If I can’t do it later, then I’ll poke someone else to help me. If all else fails…

I’ll draw a comic.

Writer’s block.

It sucks. I’m usually bustling with ideas, whether it be for blogs, or plays, or whatever. Now I have one idea for a play lodged in the back of my head before I get Mirrored Worlds at least half way done, and at least one of my older plays (much older plays) out of the way. I always have a creative twist on even my paid posts, but I am fresh out of Impromptu Shorties about auto insurance online. I guess it shall pass, but it’s still a bit annoying.
