Do you ever just get so discouraged you can't write for weeks at a time?

It happens to me all the time. And even when I force myself to write I find that my lack of enthusiasm leads to poor content so I stop myself before I create an even bigger disaster. We are all, it seems, our own harshest critics.

I think the solution for me was to spread my writing out a bit. I might not feel like another product review, so I hike over to another project of mine on an entirely different topic and format.

If I cant write, Ill go and market my articles or research new ones. Anything that helps me move forward.

Amie You need to relax... You have it within your self..just give it time.. You need to forget thinking about this all the time and involve yourself in some creative work ..that you enjoy or find something to take your mind of this for awhile..

Just give it a little time and it is bound to flow..

No, in fact, I do my best stuff during those times of discontent, loneliness, depression........my " problem" resides in the letting go and the sharing of it.

I think we all do try a differnt style of writting that helps me alot just blog what you are feeling you can turn it in to something once your feeling better good luck.

I wake up in the middle of the night and by the time I figure "Thats Great! "i need to Write that down its gone by the time I get down the stairs to my Computer.

Now I just carry a notepad and keep one in the night stand, the car, my desk and write it down......

Yes I do and it's so frustrating but for me I thinks it's an underlying problem when I'm experiencing some personal issues. Just thinking about the status of the economy affects my focus.

I do that too. I have a bad habit lately of getting into watching videos and news sites, though. I try to look at this stuff to get ideas, but then just get all wrapped up playing.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
