Dealing with the block

We’ve all been here right?

Knowing that you have to finish your daily target, sitting blankly infront of your work and just ending up with nothing to write. It happens to the best of us.

I think that the pressure of writing great work was what gave me one of the biggest blocks. I wanted to create greatness, picturing my work next to other authors like queen Rowling, Mindy Kaling, John Green, and other writers that inspired me. At one point or two (okay twenty or more!) I wanted to scrap the entire book and give up.

But then I got over the aim for sucess… I focused in writing to change someone’s life and it didn’t matter if I could change one person and if that person was me. That was enough inspiration for me to continue writing.

I did however go through other blogs and articlea to over come writer’s block, some of the tips they had were helpful except for the quote saying “write drunk, edit sober” and here’s why…

When you’re drunk you cant exactly control your train of thought. Deciding what to write alone is not an easy task. Doing it under the influence of anything is not advisable! You can go have a binge drink but I suggest to do so only to gather thoughts about your project. Once sober really think it through whether you have enough energy to write about aliens harvesting crocodiles to mate with birds and humans…

I will suggest you to go out. Take a run along the hiking paths or sit in a coffee shop corner and watch people. I do this a lot, see a couple drinking their americanos and create a story in my journal on how they met. Better yet if you’re not a shy person go ahead and introduce yourself to new people and ask them their life’s story.

Clear your mind and close your project. Let yourself take a breather, read a book that inspired you and find that reason you want to write and finish your project.

As for the rest? Let it flow. The bigger and longer the block will be when you overthink things… At the end of the day, just write.

And when she will ask you about me, tell her about that night in the November. Tell her about the empty streets at 2.am we walked on and talked about how mean love can be. And we swore we will never fall in love. Tell her about the way you crawled into my heart through my burning veins that night. How in that moment you were willing to strip your soul but you hesitated so I gave you up for the full moon. And when she will ask you more about me, tell her who I was. The writer of madness. Tell her how I wrote poetry about you and that she will never be capable of re-writing them because she doesn’t have the magic ingredient: insanity. And she will buy my book and scream my name. And when she wakes up in the middle of the night asking you about me, tell her about our midnight conversations. Tell her about all the secrets you’ve told me, and how i saved them in my poems. Tell her how much you hate being lonely and how we used each other so very selfishly. Tell her that you could not sleep at night without kissing me goodnight. Tell her you haunted me in my dreams. And in the morning when she will ask you why you don’t like coffee, tell her that is every writer’s drug. Tell her that you don’t trust writers anymore cause they tend to talk and write too much about you. Tell her to stop reading my poetry because you are a different person now that what I am writing about. Tell her you didn’t pick up my book from the trash when she threw it out. And when she will ask you about me for the last time, tell her that I didn’t change you even though I did. Tell her that I destroyed you so beautifully you can’t even remember my name. Tell her how angry I made you and how bad I made you feel. Tell her how my heart set you on fire and how I enjoyed watching you burn. Tell her how you lied to me. How you told me you didn’t love me but your eyes busted you. How cold hearted you were with me but how your warm hands danced on my body. Tell her you love her and kiss my name on her forehead

- I may have been insane, but the best lovers are. (via myink-isblood)

You told me I was perfect. 

Obviously not perfect enough for you to have first broken up with your girlfriend before you started whatever this is with me.

I Want

I go through pictures and I see your face and I start to think that all I want is you. And then I said i don't want to be the other girl and yet for some reason I am willing to be that other girl. what is wrong with me, the fact that I am wanting you so bad and willing to push you away to keep from hurting myself is crazy. I still am wishing that I could be THE girl not the other one…. I WANT so badly to be with you that it is killing me from the inside out and I just cant stand it anymore. I've tried to let you contact me first but now every time my phone goes off I’m just disappointed that it isn't you. why do I do this to myself…
