Hi, I am Elle and I suffer from Writer’s Block

Hi! I’m writing this as my very first blog post which has been a dream of mine for years. The thing about dreams though is that sometimes they just stay that way because you’re too afraid to even start for fear of messing up. It’s the same for writing in general. Sometimes I am so terrified to even start a single paragraph because I’m worried it won’t be perfect. Writer’s block plagues me consistently when I write because I don’t feel like I have the perfect idea or best way to say what I really want to. This has kept me from so many writing projects and I’m tired of it. I’m tired of being afraid to write the wrong word, I’m tired of being too overwhelmed to write because I feel like I have to tackle a novel, and I’m tired of being afraid to write something that isn’t the next future classic.

Here, I’m leaving this fear behind and I am simply writing. I have chosen to write whatever I feel inspired to and hopefully for others to enjoy as well. If you need inspiration to just write, here it is. Writer’s Block Anonymous is for those who are struggling to put words down on a page for whatever reason you may have: fear, lack of inspiration, no plot direction, etc. I understand you since I am one of you. Actually, I WAS one of you.
