#1: What Does Writers Block Feel Like?

Writers block feels as if all the words that you want to write are blocky and clunky, like they are foreign inside your head. Like all the sentences you want to write won’t flow, instead it’s like trying to draw blood from a stone. Every word that you try to write feels forced, wrong, broken. It feels as though you have so many ideas that you want to get out, yet as soon as you put pen to paper they all just evaporate without a trace. It’s like trying to hold onto smoke on a windy day, or when you cup water in your hands and all it all just trickles away through the gaps in your fingers.
