There are so
many ‘How To’ articles for all things in life (or so it seems). For writing in
particular there are blogs and articles, self-help books and writing tip
hashtags – everyone, everywhere appears to have found the answer. This post is
not about me offering suggestions on how to write, when to write, what (or what
not) to write. This post is about me sharing my own recent experiences after
having lost my way creatively.
If anyone
ever says that writing is easy, they haven’t been at it long enough to know
what’s around the corner. At some point, often several times, a writer will
struggle to find words. More importantly, they may struggle to find time to
write those words. In modern society there are numerous distractions,
interruptions and consequences that repeatedly vie for our attention. It can be
difficult, as a creative, to shut these out or walk away.
