I begin to think that my written work has no value in such a climate. I mean, who has time to think about HEAs now? But, as I spent time giving myself space to just keep myself alive and safe, I realized that I was in fact using other writers’ works to help me disconnect from the heaviness of the world. It made me able to step back and remember that good does prevail and love does conquer all.

We often think about our “inner voice” when we are thinking about our self-esteem. When we look in the mirror. But wherever we go there we are. What story do you tell yourself about your writing in general or your quality of writing?

When you can’t write, it can feel like time is slipping through your fingers—like every day without words is a day you’re falling further behind. But what if this space isn’t empty at all? What if it’s doing quiet work, you can’t see yet? This post is for the days when writing feels impossible, but you still want to honor the part of you that is a writer.

You sit down to write—and nothing happens. No spark. No pull. Just a quiet, heavy nothing where the words used to live. If you’ve been wondering what’s wrong with you, let me say this first: nothing is broken. Not being able to write doesn’t mean you’ve lost your talent or your identity as a writer. It means something inside you is asking to be understood.
