Writer's Block

Ok so I started this blog to write about my experiences as a writer and when I go to post I have total writer's block.  But then....bang! Just like that I have a topic for my first post...writer's block.

It is the most dreaded experience in a writer's life and something I seem to suffer from. I crave to write,  yearn to get those genius ideas that cram my head down on paper but I just...can't. A signal seemed to have gotten lost from the brain to the hand. My fingers lay idle on the keyboard and I watch the cursor taunt me as it blinks, waiting.

"Come on." it seems to be saying."Write something, anything."

I try to write a sentence but it just doesn't go anywhere and I pound the delete key for the upteenth time. Frustrated I just x out of the program and turn to something more distracting. Maybe tomorrow I will try again. But then tomorrow comes and goes. So does another day and another, until I realize its been months since I wrote something.

What is wrong with me? Why can't I just put down my thoughts?

It used to be so easy. The words used to just flow from pen to paper. I could have 20 pages done in a day. Not now. It takes all my energy to bang out a chapter, sometimes even a page.

This is so frustrating!!! HELP!!

A few words of encouragement would help for a little while but then it would wear away and I am back to square one. Arrgghhh...the woes of writing.
