Overcoming Writer’s Block During a Mental Sh*tstorm

I’ve really been struggling with what to write on here lately. My brain has been clouded with a bit of a shitstorm, & I’ve needed some time to see if the chaos settles.

It’s been months. I’m lucky I had a backlog of posts to ride on, but that well is just about dry. So… now what?!

Brainstorming

If you’re in a similar boat, let’s ask ourselves some questions :

• Thinking : What’s been on your mind lately? What have you been thinking about a lot?
• Feeling : How have you been feeling? That could be channeled into a “topic” post or a “how to deal with” article.
• Knowing : What do you know in your soul during this chapter of your life? Or…what have you been learning about recently that you could share with others?

Ramble

Just roll with it. That’s what I’m doing right now, LOL! Roll with it until you hit the bottom — or better yet, a breakthrough. Set a timer if you want. Clean it up tomorrow, or next week. Just get something going.

Ask AI

Just about everyone does it these days. AI bots like ChatGPT & Claude are great at not only cleaning up fragmented thoughts, but even at prompting you to expand on your ideas. It’s not cheating if you don’t copy & paste AI-generated content.

Share

The most important part. Even if it sucks, even if you’re scared. Everyone’s got an audience & a community, and sharing helps us all find each other.
