RE: Getting Unstuck: Ideas for Jumpstarting the Creative Writing Process

in #writing8 years ago (edited)

Denmarkguy - As a newcomer, a minnow 7 days old, I find your tips on getting 'unstuck' from a 'writing block' very useful. I recently started penning down musings, thought chains that my wildlife pictures prompt, instead of just posting pictures. A newbie to social media and writing/blogging, I found myself to be stuck after writing the primary thought - mainly because at that point, pressures of 'what if this is not important to others - perhaps I like it only because I am a wildlife fan' etc. would block me. At those points, the trick of 'just write' works. Unstructured writing is definitely the key. Thank you for this informative article. The flower images are really nice too. Upvoted and followed.

I would be honored if you take a look at some of my blogs. Your comments will be very valuable.

@vm2904, first off, welcome to Steemit! I hope you'll find this to be as supportive and welcoming a community as I have!

I have little advice besides "write what you know" and "write what your passions are." Regardless of what "others think," when we create content from the heart, it comes out in such a way that others can relate to it and feel part of what you are relating. I have written LOTS of stuff that was not important to others... but it was still good because it was important to me. It's impossible to please everyone... so start by pleasing yourself, and then those who truly care will also end up being pleased. Everyone else? Well, not entirely sure I'd want them hanging around, anyway!

Thank you. That is a great philosophy to follow. Really appreciate your support and guidance
