Ailing Mind

Writers block: the deadly virus that plagues the creative mind. It spreads like an epidemic in the brain and numbs the fingers. Interesting thoughts stop streaming. You are at a loss for words. You don’t even know how to start a basic sentence.

Question is: Can anything be done to overcome this foul disease? Well, there are a few things you could do. You could go to the beach, or a park. Lots of greenery or the waves crashing against the rocks can get thoughts flowing again. You could also go back and read your old work, or some other interesting pieces of writing. Another way is to write down whatever comes to mind – no matter how silly it sounds.

Or, you could just write about writer’s block.

Like I just did.

In the end, you would either overcome this ailment, or enjoy the beautiful sights of nature. It’s a win-win either way!
