I can't blog anything for hte past few days and it is really frustrating! ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!
Is this some sort of a writer's block? NOOOOOOOO!!! harhahrhar
Writer's block A phenomenon involving temporary loss of ability to begin or continue writing, usually due to lack of inspiration or creativity. Writer's block can also be a hindrance even when the writer feels that they already have a story in mind but can get no further than part of that story.
If this is the case, then I am going blog about this.
according to wikipediaWriter's block can be closely related to depression and anxiety,two mood disorders that reflect environmentally caused or spontaneous changes in the brain's frontal lobe. This is in contrast to hypergraphia, more closely linked to mania, in which the changes occur primarily in the temporal lobe. These processes, and their implications for treatment, are described in neurologist Alice Weaver Flaherty's book The Midnight Disease.
Depression - WTF?? I am not depressed..
Anxiety - I am always anxious.. lol
From Tillie Olsen's point of view (book Silences)Olsen argues that historically many women and working-class writers have been unable to devote themselves to, or concentrate on, their writing because their social and economic circumstances prevent them from doing so.
On the other hand from Owl.purdueSome writers have various ways of writing and a variety of things can cause a writer anxiety which leads to WRITER'S BLOCK.
In the said website they made an outline regarding symptoms of the WB and possible cures that can help a person to get back on track.
I.E.Symptom: You were assigned a topic that bores you nor gives you any interest
Possible Cure: You can choose a particular aspect of the topic you are interested in or talk to a tutor on how you can personalize a topic to make it more interesting.
Right now, I can't determine whether I am anxious nor stressed out. The rhythm that I used to have suddenly died down and I can't see any ebbs from it.
I have googled it and i found a site that can hopefully help with my current situation...

From a site called LEO, it gave some tips on how to overcome WB.
Experiment -- Try to write in different places, at different times, and with different writing instruments.
Freewrite - Choose one sentence in a paragraph and write a paragraph about it. Then choose one sentence from that paragraph and do it again.
Cluster - Choose key words and ideas; then write associated ideas and words in clusters around them. This process often forms new ideas.
Be flexible -- Be willing to throw out sections of text that are causing problems or just don't work.
Follow a routine -- Follow a routine to get into the writing mood. Try activities like wearing comfortable clothing, using a certain pen, or listening to a particular CD or type of music.
Move -- Physically move around, stretch, or walk.
Take a break -- Get a snack or drink, talk to someone, or just relax for five minutes before starting to write again.
Concentrate -- Focus on a different section or aspect of your paper. This sometimes leads to new insights in problem areas, while allowing you to get work done on another section.
Re-read -- Read a print draft of the paper and jot down ideas while reading.
Relax! -- The more you worry, the harder it gets to think clearly.
And from wiki...
* Scheduling time to write and work, regardless of the quality of the output.
* Engaging in brief periods of "free writing" or "mind writing," in which people impulsively write whatever comes to mind.
* Join a traditional Writing Group or join a free online writing group.
* Challenging negative thoughts about one's skill or ability to write.
* Using writers' exercises such as "chunking". They use many websites that contain numerous creative writing exercises. Writers read an exercise, and do it.
* Use the process known as automatic writing
* Taking a break, meditating, or doing relaxation exercises to relieve any pressure on oneself and on the writing.
* Doing something out of the ordinary. If writer's block comes from a lack of new ideas, attempts to spark creativity by going somewhere new or doing something different can be useful.
* Returning to the writing after a lapse of a day or two.
* Write a basic plot outline of the story if having problems keeping the story on the rails.
* Brainstorming at the beginning of the writing can help the writer by relating every point to another.
* Reading, watching movies or plays, or similar activities that might bring inspiration.
* Going out to get some fresh air.
* Similarly, diet and exercise are linked to optimal performance of mind and body - thus, keeping oneself in good health is important for creative output. Aerobic exercise oxygenates the brain, and walking in particular is a time honored remedy for creative block.
* Set your writing down, go out and do something (something that will keep you busy) and then come back in a few hours with a fresh mind.
* Try asemic writing.
( from Wiki...
Asemic writing is a wordless open semantic form of writing. The word asemic means "having no specific semantic content".
Illegible, invented, or primal scripts (cave paintings, doodles, children's drawings, etc.) are all influences upon asemic writing. But instead of being thought of as mimicry of preliterate expression, asemic writing can be considered as a postliterate style of writing that uses all forms of creativity for inspiration.
Some asemic writing has pictograms or ideograms, which suggest a meaning through their shape. Other forms are shapeless and exist as pure conception.
Asemic writing has no verbal sense, though it may have clear textual sense. Through its formatting and structure, asemic writing may suggest a type of document and, thereby, suggest a meaning. The form of art is still writing, often calligraphic in form, and either depends on a reader's sense and knowledge of writing systems for it to make sense, or can be understood through aesthetic intuition.
Asemic writing can also be seen as a relative perception, whereby unknown languages and forgotten scripts provide templates and platforms for new modes of expression.
Asemic writing occurs in avant-garde literature and art with strong roots in the earliest forms of writing.)
* Review and if necessary reorganize source material or notes.* Listen to music.So here's what I am going to do..
I am going to do some hiphop abs workout after this and I'll come back if it is true that I have refreshed my mind.. Sometimes, exercising or listening to my music really works..
Okay guys, catch you all later!!
Love you lots!!!
