The Dreaded Writer's Block by J.S. Marlo

The arrival of three new grandchildren in the span of twenty months (from two different children) has been keeping me wonderfully busy and I haven't had as much time to write as I use to.

I started a new story around the time the oldest of these three grandchildren was born. A third of the story is already a solid draft on paper, but recently I hit the dreaded writer's block. My imaginary characters stopped talking to me, like I'm not part of their lives anymore. I think they feel neglected...

I came across a quote while I was browsing for ideas this morning. Kudos to whoever came up with this:


Well, the only gummy bears I encounter are the vitamin ones I eat every morning (yes, they are dead), and the only unicorns are the ones I draw with my 10-yr old granddaughter (so, no, not real), but I'm hoping to rescue my imaginary friends in the near future.

Once I do, I promise to pay more attention to them so they will start talking to me again. After all, their stories isn't finished yet... and it would be terrible if I would start to go sane at my age!

In the meantime, I'll enjoy my grandchildren.

Happy Fall!

  1. Don't think of this as a writer's block. Instead consider this a short vacation.

  2. Sometimes, taking a break helps you regroup and when you go back to writing, the ideas come back as well. Thanks for sharing.
