Some of the most talented writers alive may have no sense of passion, and we must forever wonder what stories were lost because they just didn't have enough passion to actually write. Other writers may have plenty of passion, but are simply too distracted -- too overdosed on information -- to put words on a page.
Writers' block is real. Don't ever think it's not. But don't think it's incurable, either. The best cure for writers' block is to stop. Shut off everything and detox. Give yourself a week without internet, social media, TV news, movies, TV shows. Give your brain a chance to rest.
Your voice is important because you are the only you in the whole wide world. If you're struggling to write despite your desire to write, then it's a sign of imbalance inside you. Give yourself permission to unplug. Give yourself permission to play. Give yourself permission to write.
Not happy with the quality of your writing Know that if you're reading this, I believe in you. Even if your writing is terrible, it can get better if you give it time. But you're going to have to write. You're going to have to figure out how to write well by writing a lot of bad stuff. You're gong to have to get all the bad writing out of your system so that the only thing left is good writing.
Only you can write what you write. So write boldly. Write with passion. Write the things you're afraid for anyone to know you wrote. Write like your life depends on it.
