Writers block - the bane of an author's existence

It's something every writer has experienced and everyone  has heard of.

Writers Block 😬

Argh, when it hits, it hits hard and it has no respect for deadlines or emotions.

Sometimes it's just that you have no idea what to write. You know you want to write or you need to write, but there is just nothing there, you can stare at the computer screen for hours without a single thought in your head before giving in.
That's bad, but you can walk away, clear your head and ignore the whole thing until inspiration hits you from behind and dumps you back in front of the keyboard.


Sometimes it's the most frustrating feeling of them all: You know exactly what you want to write, you can see the shape of the story in front of you, but the awful disconnect is between your brain and your hands. How is it possible to know what you want to write but simply not be able to do it?


I can see it, I can hear my characters discussing their next move and the whispers of plotting behind closed doors, but where do I start?
Sleep deprivation and a low caffeine supply are probably something to do with the problem.
I shall remedy this and try again.
