Nothing to worry about. Writers' block is common and can be overcome easily.

 

One way is to freewrite. Just start writing anything (and everything) that comes to mind. If you can't think of anything to write, just start with something like, 'hmmm what should i write about...' and continue to write without stopping.

 

Alternately, you can make a list of all the topics you like (or hate or are tired of) and then choose one of them and start freewriting about it. For example, if you like fashion (or shopping, or food, or a certain book or schoolwork), write it at the top of the page and write whatever comes to mind about. You may come up with an idea for an article on the topic.

Samar, I can see you're blogging and you're still a student. When you finish school and college and then if you choose writing as a profession you will write anyway. For the time being, maybe you're busy, stressed, etc... Don't frame yourself into a certain kind of writing. Are you angry? Write about that. Are you worried about something, put your thoughts down into a notebook perhaps not necessarily on your blogging dashboard. Are you too busy studying for example? That's fine too, give your attention to studies and when you're more relaxed, you'll write again. But don't resist writing if you get inspired. I once got off bed coz some words were on my mind and couldn't find anything around to write on so I wrote the poem on a tissue box!

Oh.. Write randomly.. anything. It's always good to keep a diary to prevent that writers block.

Hi,

Writer's Block is not something new however, one should be positive about it. I believe it's time you start looking for some motivation in form of real life and start experimenting with your writing style. Each one of us have a unique writing style so try and read as much as you can so that the creative juices start to flow again. Any help do let me know.
