Short n’ Sweet

Writer’s Block and Depression

Per the title, this week’s post will be short and sweet. 

Not only have I been experiencing writer’s block this week (despite all of my efforts), but I’ve felt that pesky depression start to sneak up around the edges of my psyche. It’s not too bad - I’m handling it - but it hasn’t made things easier. Earlier today, part of me was thinking that I didn’t have to do a blog post tonight. It’s not the end of the world if I skip one week, especially if there’s a lot going on. 

And while that is technically true, I didn’t want to lose momentum.

It’s similar to how, when experiencing writer’s block, you still want to do small things here and there to start to push through it. Writing blog posts each week is part of my routine. It’s a part of my routine that I genuinely love. I don’t want to lose momentum on that just like how I don’t want to lose momentum on my story by succumbing to writer’s block. 

So even though this week has been a struggle, I’m going to keep pushing through. This blog post might be short and sweet, but at least it’s something.
