For a year, I have been silent on the blog and after thinking it through, I may have a case of “bloggers’ block.” It isn’t about not having new ideas rushing in mind, but for me, a barrier to writing.
Internally, there is a struggle.
Who reads what I write anyway?
There are better writers out there.
What am I writing about?
What’s my style?
Sometimes, I just stare blank for hours into the screen, and I have no idea how to write the first word. Finally, whatever I force out of me is just mediocre junk enough to fill the prescription.
Being the positive me, I do believe that there is a glimpse of hope or light at the end of the tunnel. How would I get there unless I keep trying? Awkward posts, confusing monologues and striving to make sense out of this world may be a solution to my sickness.
So, thank you for reading, and please leave a comment to save my broken penmanship. I do need some encouragement right now.

Oh Jen, what are you talking about??? You are a fantastic writer! Seriously! I have never once thought that what you write is “mediocre junk”. Maybe you are judging yourself too harshly. Just pick up that broken pen, keep writing and proceed with grace!
I’m waiting to hear more about your awesome adventures and what God is doing in your life. x
Hey Jen,
I would love to read you more!!!!!!! Please do not stop, you are a wonderful writer!!!
All the best,
Roxana
Thank you Audrey! =) I really do need to get back from my sulking and keep writing. You are right. Thank you soooo much!
Thank you Roxana! I really needed the encouragement. (Even though I feel like a little spoiled kid complaining)…. I guess everyone has a point when something’s hard for them and I’m at that point. So I need to get past it. Thank you!
HI Jen,
I’m kinda in the same funk as you but it’s been even longer for me. Inspiration can come from anywhere and seeing you come back to this just might get me to update my own site.
Thanks AD! I don’t think I’ve run dry of inspiration, but writing is just harder. I guess it’s times like this I have to write, right? Either give up completely or write until it all passes.
Yes! I’d like to hear more from you! Especially the cooking one you used to do. That’s great! Cuz you actually have a natural talent in cooking! Go AD!
