Overcoming Writer's Block
A couple weeks ago I went through this major writer’s block. I experienced this feeling of weariness - perhaps it was a combination of burn out and writer’s block. I love writing, but somehow I felt like I wasn’t elevating as a writer. I wanted to be better…I wanted to expand my vocabulary…and be more fluent.
What I realized was that I was reading the same ole blogs and was simply stuck in a rut. I spent so much time reading what others had to say that I wasn’t focused on what I had to say. Don’t get me wrong, the blogs I read are wonderful and I learn so much from other writers, but what I needed was to just stop reading and let my inner voice out. Then I came across these tips on adding voice to your writing (found via this San Diego web design company) and finally it all came together…
Here’s one tip that stuck out, so I thought I’d share it here for all you fellow writers/bloggers:
“Put your trust in your writing. Write down what flows from you, don't think too hard about what the reader wants to hear.”
