I'm having the same problem with this post, I know there was another point to make, I just can't think.
I know it's stress causing it, as little stressful things have been popping up and it's hard to concentrate on anything. I'm getting really frustrated, as I can't write what I want to write, and I can't remember what it was that I wanted to write in the first place.
I'm a writer, it's what I do. I can't even do that. I know what I have to say, I just can't grasp it in my head, like a mist has covered it, then just swallows it whole.
Does anyone know any ways at all to help this problem? To get this essay written. I've already hit the deadline, and it needs to be completed!
I hope I made sense, I'm finding writing this a bit hard.
Thanks

your a writer ok how about falling back on that, the writers that I know have a process when they come face to face with writers block. they dit down and just write paying no mind to sentence structure, spelling, grammar. they just write anything. one writer that spoke in our creative writing class said she sits down and writes "I dont know what to write, this is stupid" over and over again. sometimes she ends up having 4 pages full of that statement until finally her head starts changing the sentence and then writing about her day, eventually getting back to the essay she needs to write, but still doing this writing of the essay in free writing style. then she gets up and walks away from her writing. when she comes back she reads what she has wrote in free writing style and uses that as a starting point for the essay. she says it cures her writing block every time. Ive tried her freee writing style with my homework assignments and it works for me too.
