How do you deal with writer’s block?

I try to make time doing things that I enjoy like walking in the park or taking a yoga class. With less stress my mind is more open. When the little voice says that I will never come up with an idea, I try not to listen and remind myself that I will. Sometimes I just start writing to see where the pen will take me and with no specific ideas when I set out to write a piece. I also remind myself that nothing has to be perfect the first time around and that the important thing is to get the ideas down. Editing will come later. Sometimes spending time at a museum frees me up to be more creative. It is also an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. 😀

In my mind a written story is a projection of who you are and therefore comes the heart. I have wondered from time to time why I wrote, We All Live On This Planet Together. It is a book for children, but hardly limited to a child audience. The book focuses on how the love we feel for ourselves and toward the wonders of the world can fade behind our everyday worries.

I can recall the very moment sitting alone in my home feeling isolated from the world and consumed with worry from everything from our changing climate to fears about my own safety in the world. There clearly was a heaviness to my worries.

As the fears swelled up inside what I liked about myself and loved about the world were no where to be found. These joys appeared to shrink before my eyes.

Suddenly from nowhere a creative surge took over and the positive thoughts poured out. What I learned as a writer was not to put breaks on the thoughts.

What fascinated me was how they all came out in rhyme and continued until the end of my story. I chuckled, being reminded how my father wrote poems for me as a child, something that I felt I could never do on my own. It was his voice then and I still remember the words decades later. But it feels so good to finally have a voice of my own and to have his words as a memory along side of mine. That is part of the joy that I find in writing - to express my voice - and inspire readers. We All Live On This Planet Together is a start.
