Writer’s block is not emptiness; writer’s block is pause. An invitation for words to take their well-deserved break. I have found that there is no point resisting it anymore. Sometimes, silence is necessary.
When I cannot write, I read. When I cannot read, I walk. When I cannot walk, I give a call to my favorite conversation partner. The person who makes me feel like I am in a middle of a good book. Or I hang out with friends to laugh away my words.
There is no magic in solutions; there are only routines.
A cup of chai next to the notebook.
Lighting a candle for concentration.
Playing my favorite songs in the background.
Writing the first sentence without forcing myself to do it. Even something like “I have no idea what to say today.”
The only strategy is perseverance. To believe that the words will come back eventually.
Because every writer’s block is always hiding a beginning —
and every silence, with time,
starts to sound like a line.
