Let me tell you a story…
I had writer’s block for several months now, but not the typical writer’s block where the thoughts are not flowing. Mine came about when I lost a completed blog post by a “Cut/Paste” dilemma. I was devastated. I felt all kinds of emotions as I replayed the entire scenario in my head over and over again with one regret, why did I select “cut” instead of “copy”? This left me mentally paralyzed for weeks. The thought of trying to remember and rewrite what was lost had me feeling hopeless.
It crippled me mentally. I almost gave up on writing altogether because I thought this must be a sign I am not cut out to be a writer.
Mental, mental, mental……
I hope you are paying attention. Because of my thought process, I felt defeated.
