Writers block...

So for the past week or so, I've been really busy, and had a bunch of story ideas floating around in my head, but when I sit down to write them, I can't. I hate having writers block, it's so frustrating for me, because I want to, but I can't.

The first thing that I usually do is put on some music, I have certain songs that I find inspiring when I write, putting this on shuffle repeat usually does it for me.

If that doesn't work, I usually go to something completely different, like either a different story altogether, or a different part, or character.

Another thing, sometimes nothing will work, in that case, I usually turn off the computer, and go do something completely different, after reading a science textbook for a half an hour, and trying to understand the good of algebra, I'm usually pretty creative by then. ;)

At night, the best time sometimes, to get an Ida about the end of a story or whatever, is just before I fall asleep, so you could always try going to bed if you just can't get that ending right :p

First Post

Hey there,

I decided to start this blog mainly to share my poems and stories, and to write about, well, writing :) I haven't always liked to write, in fact, I used to hate it! Then it seemed like all my friends got the writing bug, and I decided to try it, just to see what was so fun about it. Now I'm hooked, and am always either writing, or thinking about what to write next :)

I thought I'd also talk a little about different books I've read, or authors I like, things like that. I think that's it for now. Oh, and here's the link to my fictionpress page also www.fictionpress.com/anniejoy

My URL is a take off of my nickname from when I was little, and my younger sisters middle name in case anyone was wondering :P
