100 words: Blank

I make myself a proper cup of tea and sit down at my desk, the blank Word document already open. I’m slowly sipping my tea and thinking; nothing funny or smart comes to my mind so the document remains blank. I open a new blank document in Pages, hoping that changing my writing tools will make a difference; it doesn’t. I finish my tea and go to bed, hoping that a relaxing atmosphere will make my mind burst with inspiration; it doesn’t. The documents stay blank and soon I give up, close them both and start watching a dull film.

100 words: Writer's block

I've been sitting here, staring at the blank page for hours. Well, to be honest, I didn't stare at the blank page all the time; I've been tweeting and reading random articles on Wikipedia, searching for ideas.

It didn't help, obviously, since I'm writing a pointless post, and nothing's more pointless than writing about a writer’s block. But here I am, trying to write a 100 word blog post about a thing I really hate.

I hate having a writer’s block and I hate being uninspired. But at least I’m still writing and I didn’t give up; that counts, right?
