Young Writers Society

It's been a long time since I last wrote. I stopped writing because I'm a Senior High School graduating student and I had to complete my clearance. That's why I stopped writing. Now that I'm less busy, I tried to write, the only problem I had was... I didn't want to write. Just before I became busy with school I always wanted to write, the ideas were always there, never stops coming into my head. But now, nothing's coming to me, my mind's blank, I feel empty inside when I try to sit in front of my computer and type.

I think I've lost it.

What should I do to find it?

I think the first thing you should do is accept that maybe it isn't coming back. Once you do that, you'll be more free to explore other possibilities, at which point, if you are meant to write more it'll happen by itself. You know, if love something, give it away and all that nonsense. It worked for me.

And second I'd suggest getting that review count up from zero.

I did this. Stopped writing, that is, then panicked because I had lost that 'spark'.
What I did was I went and joined a bunch of storybooks, and did lots of little activities using prompts. That way you don't have to stress about being 'good', or coming up with brilliant ideas, you just sit down and write.
Then I grew more confident and started writing properly again.

This happened to me, too. What I did was read all my favorite books of all time (Dr.Suess, Harry Potter, The Christmas Puppy, The Polar Express, ect....) even the little kid ones, because those were the ones I was reading when I fell in love with writing in the first place. So, try to rekindle that flame of writing!

Keep writing!

God Bless!
