People often have ideas that get blocked. They might be writers and they can’t seem to get their ideas down on paper. They have a lot to write about but when your mind goes blank, what can you do?
It doesn’t matter what you want to say if you aren’t getting it on paper. Maybe you forget things often and you find that you are being mindless. Or maybe life is full of surprises, and you find that you lost your laptop, or your pet broke it. How do you keep writing then?
If the pages seem to not have anything written and you find yourself blank, you need to figure out how to align yourself so that you can write down what you need to write. Writer’s block can be a real problem.
