Today I’m here to talk to you about a writer’s greatest fear: permanent writer’s block. Here’s a little exposition about why someone might suffer from this.

After being obliged to write for some time, interesting topics can be harder to brainstorm. Writers everywhere will understand, and so will students.

I have to write another book? Another essay? Another article? Whatever will I write about this time? It’s easy in the beginning with an endless amount of choices.

There’s still going to be choices later on down the road, but a writer’s creative juices could be less juicy.

That’s only with the assumption that the writer picked his or her favorite ideas in the beginning, leaving the less interesting or liked topics for the end. Who wants to write about something that they don’t like?

And that, reader, is where permanent writer’s block comes into play. Articles read better when the writer is passionate about the subject. At least, my articles do.

After writing The View From Here for an entire semester, it felt like I came back to permanent writer’s block when trying to write the first few of this semester.

It’s not that the articles were bad; they both just kind of existed.

Words on paper. Symbols in ink. That’s how much passion was implemented into those two articles.

But permanent writer’s block can’t really be permanent, right? Of course not. No matter how stubborn a writer is, it’s always possible to come up with a topic to write about.
