Brain Block!

My brain has stopped working! Well, the part that helps me write. Writer’s block. I can’t seem to get the words out for the book I was working on. It’s not full speed ahead. It’s full stop.

So, I sat down and just started to put down anything. I wrote a lot about mosquitos, lol. I’ve been gnawed on by them since we went to Congaree National Park in June. I’ve actually scars from them! Even the itch block wasn’t helping. I don’t think I’m going to write a book on mosquitos. But nonsense words are better than nothing, I guess.

Usually it’s just laziness on my part. Or lack of time despite being retired. I didn’t take seriously the time I’d spend going to appointments. Just mine would be okay. Just my husband’s would be okay. Together? Holy moly, I swear we have one to three appointments a week. Add in babysitting my grands. That is a minimum of three days a week, seven to eleven hours a day depending on my daughters and son in law’s schedule. In a couple of weeks, girl scouts start back up, so that will be a couple of days a month. None of it by itself is bad, but all together leaves me with a full schedule.

Well, better than sitting in front of the TV all day, right?

Today I probably won’t be writing either. I need to clean the house. It’s not bad, but stuff needs to be put away. The kids are coming over for a game night. Maybe they’ll give me inspiration. LOL. I can hope!

Have a great Saturday. Get some reading in. Scroll a bit in here and hopefully you’ll find some great books to read.
