“Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.” - Mark Twain

When you first start writing it is hard to decide where to begin. Don’t spend too much time trying to figure it out. Just start writing about something you love. If you love what you are writing about your passion and energy about the subject will naturally come out.

If you can’t figure out what you love then write a blog post about how perplexed you are. Writing about confusion is much more therapeutic than simply sitting about pondering your predicament. Writing about your writing problems will almost always help you overcome them.

Do you believe writers block is real or an apparition? Doctors and authors who believe in writers block agree the most common causes are depression, anxiety, and not dedicating enough time to the creative process.

Writers block clearly stands out amongst mental conundrums. When I was a software engineer no one seemed to care how long a complex program could perplexed me. As a supervisor I am occasionally stumped for months regarding serious personnel issues and still no one seems to care. Doctors are not lining up to study perplex programmers or stumped supervisors and no one seems interested in writing endless volumes of literature about these conditions. Why does writers block stand out so vividly amongst its peers?
