For me, writer’s block is caused by not writing. Here are the top three reasons that I may stop writing for a while.
Medical. Yep, I do have a bit of that going on.
Company. A house full of grand-peeps, to me, are much more fun than writing.
My Real Estate Business, a website, putting FSBO house-sellers in the MLS is seasonally quite a handful.
But, there is only one thing to start up my writing again, and that is writing itself. I can start with baby steps, and write a short form story or two, fairly painlessly. One a day for the first two days. According to Newton’s law, the writing will tend to continue, once started. And I can start to see a big cumulative difference after three or four two-a-days. Check your stats page.
Then, I can gradually lengthen the stories. Stories even a bit longer than 150 words will give a bit longer reads and make more money.
The thing to realize is that we all get into a slump from time to time. It’s just that we can’t remain in it.
