Unable to capture any kind of motivation.

Nope. Today I lack creativity.

I’ve tried seemingly every remedy for this.

Nonetheless, I cannot shake this block.

Somewhere exists the key to the gate that hinders my words from flowing.

Perhaps as the sun sets, the juices will begin to flow.

It’s as if I’m in a room filled with a thick fog.

Release me, for I feel trapped.

Every line in my head seems unsuitable.

Do I persevere? Of course.

    This captures the fog of writer’s block perfectly.

    You turned the tough into beauty.

    It's so beautiful and relatable 👍

  • I totally understand "uninspired". But my uninspired is not necessarily in coming up with something to write. My problem is just getting the inspiration to actually do the act of writing. The ideas are there it's just the will to do it isn't always there. That is what I'm going through right now.

  • I know you got this! Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️

    Ugh, so relatable. Great work!

    The lack of inspiration can, paradoxically, serve as inspiration! Nicely done.

    OMG... have you crawled into my brain? I felt like that for two days; of course, I also had a severe case of laryngitis but my brain should have worked. LOVE this..... so relatable.
