Everything is ready for me to start working, so why don't I have a thought in my head? The laptop is open and on, my required cup of coffee is sitting there piping hot, and the paper, pencils, and pens are all arranged neatly in case I want to make notes. So where is my brain? Why have I have nothing going on in my head. I want to write, I need to write, but I have nothing to write. Not even a clue of what I want to write. I think maybe I need to back away and read or something. I guess I will stop, back away from my desk and give up for now. Tonight we will be having leftovers. I made a large pork roast with vegetables yesterday and am looking forward to heating up a plateful of it tonight. Yum. I think I will catch up on notifications and see if that action jogs my brain.

Perhaps our cold weather froze our brains.

Now that is a possibility that hadn't occurred to me.

Stepping away will probably jar your brain and creative thoughts will flow

Good Luck. Maybe some calming instrumental type music?

I think for me the most help was doing some counted cross stitch.

@HazySue Really it's about whatever works best for you. I'm glad the cross stitch did the trick.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It did, I don't know why it relaxes me so much but it does.

What you need is a topic starter. That usually works for me when my brain is still asleep and I'm wide awake.

I have a list I keep for ideas I just couldn't get myself going on any of them.

Maybe that is what I should do as well.

Sometimes it helps. I ende4d up working on a cross stitch for awhile to take my mind off of writing.

I did work some on notifications. I certainly whittled them down.

We're still eating cold pork but that's okay. It makes great sandwiches.

I did some research yesterday and did not write, this morning I wrote a weekly blog so I have not written anything but headers for what I want to write about. Now I am tired and need a nap.

Sweet dreams. It gets crazy when you work on more than one thing.
