Why is writing so hard?

I have found the book Save the Cat Writes a Novel extremely helpful, if you go to Jessica Brody’s website she’ll send you the starter kit, for the beat sheets

That website sounds cool, with the writing prompts. Ah , yes. As for writing on here... (You can laugh at me) - I keep a list. Sometimes I get super inspired and think of , like, a dozen things that would make good topics here. Other times, like now, I'm hard pressed to think of discussion content. So, off to my list I will go. Hope that helps

I used to write for several sites and the only constraint I have now is the lack of time. It is normal to experience writer's block but with constant practice, we can always create a good content.

There is nothing worse than a writer's block, I guess aside from having lots of writing ideas but cannot find the words to make it into paper/any writing platform. I have experienced both, still do. Usually I give myself time so I will not get stressed out. Then I always keep a small notebook with me, I write down words that remind me of how I feel or my experience pertaining to something that I am planning to write about. Then I look back to it and see how I can incorporate these feelings or thoughts into my writing.

I have a bit of a problem writing when i have too many things on my mind. I write when the ideas start flowing. I found that i cannot force the ideas I have to sit back and do other things. If i just let my mind wander i generally come up with ideas so i keep a notebook and pencil at hand.

Write when you feel it, being a writer is really hard. I hope you finished your stories

What are you trying to write? Fact or fiction? I do both - writing factual pieces on my blogs and stories for the writing group to which I belong. In both types of writing, I find that plucking an idea from anywhere - a newspaper article, a random thought, a dream, or whatever - then simply putting a few words down on the screen, is often a good start. You can then expand or change what you have, develop a few thoughts and - hey presto - you have the beginning of something that looks remarkably like a piece of writing! I have recently started to use speech transmission software, so I talk to a microphone and my words appear on the screen. I can therefore spout any amount of rubbish but produce something that I can adapt and expand with a bit more thought. If it goes nowhere, I simply scrap it and try something else. In all cases, it is the idea that matters - the rest is just mechanical if you are any good at all as a writer!

My go-to writing site is writing.com You earn virtual badges and gift points (GPs). It's a great (free) community of folks who want to encourage each other in their writing skills.

I have the same problem but sometimes, I get an idea on what to write when looking at my old photos and also what I cook and bake.

It is not come back hard for me. Harder is keep interest. Writing is not first thing for me so sometimes I lost interest.

I think one day you can make it. Perhaps, you have just another concentration for the moment.

Sometimes it is difficult to know what to write about, especially when we cannot go out and do things. There is nothing to talk about either when nobody is going anywhere.

Yes it always takes mw timw to get back in shape
