writers block

sleeper · 03-01-2004, 08:34 PM

how does one overcomes this? not only with writing, but the concept of being creatively sterile for indefinate amount of times. its an interesting idea, and im curious about the psychology of it.

The cultural gulf between left and right, liberal and social conservative, secularist and fundamentalist, had rarely yawned so wide, nor has it since, some analysts say. By the late 1990's, in fact, some were declaring that the culture war was over, even if they disagreed about who won it. But culture wars wax and wane. And in recent days, as the nation furiously debated gay marriage, Mel Gibson's movie, "The Passion of the Christ" and Janet Jackson's raunchy half-time show at the Super Bowl, the culture war seemed to be waxing again.

i can't stand creative/writers block. but basically i sit around on my ass for a few days/weeks and do nothing. then all of a sudden i can start doing shit again.

maybe there's a better way.

yeah but drugs either cure or intensify it. my worst creative blocks dont really ever come during sobriety, but while on something. im starting to think just a mental restart of sorts could help. do something that restarts the thought process. manually shifting your perspective seems harder and harder the deeper in you go. have a shower or take a nap. start fresh maybe

writer's block for me is brought on when I feel too tired to express my opinion or thoughts. as with other creative outlets, block comes from fear of doing something mediocre instead of amazing, thus paralyzing (at least me) the mind in that area.

sometimes i'll listen to music to push me in a new or untapped direction and sometimes i build up anxiety over the lack of output, and i'll turn that feeling into inspired writing or painting.
