I have the blank page blues….I hate when this happens. You can liken it to writer’s block or lack of
imaginative focus, but whatever we call it, I’ve got it.
Every week, I find myself stuck. Even with my handy dandy
content calendar, I cannot think of anything timely or relevant to
express. It is an empty feeling. I often
worry if anybody is out there. Is
anybody actually being engaged, encouraged, or uplifted knowing that everybody
goes through some type of struggle or life event. Everything is not perfect.
While there is no lack of activity in my life, finding a
story that is compelling, motivating, and in essence humorous, is often a
challenge.
So as I stare at a blank page. I use the writing technique of brainstorming
to see what flows out of my overcrowded mind: bills…depressing, yard
work…boring, job…not even gonna…so I type and I stare out the window. The rain
is dampening my hopes of a lively, endearing story or tale. Everything is just wet…and gray. Soooooooooo…..look at these great shoes......

What has transpired this week that has inspired me? What great feats have I accomplished that I
must brag about on the blog of my existence? How should I inspire the readers
to go forth with diligence and determination?
*Crickets* Can’t think of a thing?
However, even in the midst of brain freeze, blank pages,
writer’s block or any other hindrance to me expressing my thoughts on paper, I
still am so thankful and grateful for all that I have, know, feel, and
think. Writing is definitely a process
and takes time and effort to bring forth the best. It’s just like life, we live, we love, and we
learn. Our lives are full of experiences
that we can learn from, share, and appreciate the lessons. When I write I use this platform to help
others to grow and laugh.
This new emergence of thoughts and writing has ignited the
FaithWithHeels flame. I am ready to get
back in action and get connected to women (& men) who want to see others
grow in business, life, and living.
So, I guess I didn’t let the blank page blues defeat me as I
have filled much of the page with my random thoughts!
Keep Walking in Faith! & fill those blank pages with life,
MiVida

What an excellent summary of how it feels to have writer's block! I HATE when that happens! So frustrating. When this occurs for me, I generally just step away ... no amount of prodding makes my mind engage if the time just isn't right for writing. I love the premise of your blog, and you feature some really cute shoes to boot (pun intended . . . ahhhh);)
Hi Linda,
Thanks!
Yes, I get writer's block something terrible.
Keep watching for the boots, typically around Fall!
Love this post! The whole thing about writing being a process - so true!
Sometimes when we think we have nothing to say, we end up saying a lot.
This Women's High Heels shoes looking so nice and something is different also.
Yeah, it's hard when you run out of stuff to say... and I am a talker.
