I write space adventures and spend way too much time talking about words. Writing is a hobby for me. I’ve been crafting stories, dreaming up worlds, & making characters for so long I decided to share what I have created with the world.

Combatting Writer's Block
Writers will undoubtedly face writer’s block during their creative process and career. And it’s the worst. Writer’s block can leave us feeling trapped, drained, and just overall burnt out from the craft. Totally understandable. Wanting to create, but not having the direction, ideas, or a general barrier between you and your art is a horrible feeling. If that’s you right now, or if you relate, you are not alone. Writer’s block can stem from dozens of different places and it isn’t always just about the writing. Sometimes when we don’t feel good, we don’t feel up to writing. Similar to other tasks, writing costs us energy, and when we’re low on energy, it can be a colossal task. Other times, it may be because we’re afraid of something, often rejection, or imposter syndrome. Like it or not, our health plays a role in our ability and enjoyment of writing. And of course, writer’s block can also stem from a lack of direction or planning with the story, or overall creative inspiration or motivation. It’s almost like writer’s block can come from anywhere. Ugh.
