If you are a writer is not a matter of if you get writer's block but when. It wraps heavy chains around your hands, isolates your mind from inspiration and frustrates you to no end. One day words are pouring out of you and the next...the facet runs dry. Every writer will face this obstacle eventually. Some more than others. Some at more pivotal points than others.

I have been facing writer's block for the past three weeks. In the past when I have faced writer's block it seems to pass within a couple weeks. I read a book, listen to music, enjoy the adventures of life until it passes. Inspiration is abundant and my words, that once came so easily, have returned to unlock the weighted chains.

Every writer should understand what suffocates their voice. For me it is stress. Writing has always been a release. But now, I cannot write. I cannot find my voice. I feel like an elementary school student starring at the blank page wondering if I can fill the entire thing with words.

I have no words. I have no voice. My stories are frozen until my inspiration returns.
