Writer’s Maze

Day 64

Pushing through writer’s block is difficult. Writer’s block doesn’t always feel like you have nothing to say — rather it feels like you don’t know how to say anything. To say I have no thoughts in my head is a lie. I have plenty of them. It’s impossible to exist and think nothing about anything — even if your opinion is that you don’t have one, you have to think about how your opinion doesn’t exist and why.

Perhaps this isn’t true writer’s block then. Perhaps this is better described as writer’s maze because my ideas/words feels like they are trapped inside of a maze. Part of me doesn’t know where to start. Should I talk about me, life, racism, sports, my food, my wife, my writing? Suppose I talk about any of that — how should I go about it? Should I write a list? Does it have to be epic? Does it have to be persuasive? Do I need all the answers?

*Word count check* I guess it doesn’t matter. Mission accomplished.
