With so much in life, there is a lot to write about. Happy to sad, very to crazy; just don’t try so hard.

Many people ask why and what I write about, and I tell them everything. I write because I get to express myself, and through Triond.com I have made friends that have given me so much attention, ideas, knowledge that I find that some of them are actually better friends than those who actually know me.
As for what I write about, well life is full of adventure, some good, and some bad; then there is just the every day run of the mill stuff; but when something catches my attention I run with it.
This past week I have had to deal with several, yes I said several deaths of family and friends under the age of 50, one was 40 and the other 47; one male one female, both heart attacks. So now I find myself looking at heart disease, early deaths, leaving family members behind, talking to young one about death, heaven and God. Then there are days where I have a fun packed day with my daughter, my son or other family and friends.
There is so much information out there, feelings, emotions that the list of ideas to write about are endless, and yes I do get writers block, but mine is in the form of depression; I am unmotivated to communicate; and that is when I force my self to go for a walk, or yes even write a line, a paragraph, sometimes people tell me it is my best writing, and sometimes I see no review, but that is OK. Remember there is always something to write about, whether it is your feelings, things going on in your life, pets, animals in the wilderness, obnoxious family members, the list is endless
I write about health issues because they affect us all, and articles about Doula’s, which are birth assistants; I enjoy empowering young mothers to be, and family members to find the power within themselves, making them proud of their accomplishments. I am also into holistic medication and healing properties, cause sometimes it sure beats the side affects of some of the medications out there.
I started writing so that I could make complicated information more understandable especially to the young, and I do get responses that my friends find the way I explain things one hundred percent better than those stupid encyclopedia’s.
I let them know I try.
So do not fear, look around, check your heart, talk to others, and soon you too will find something that will knock down your writer block and start a fire under your fingertips.

I think the best way to kill writer block is to write what you know best. You may write things happening around you, or things you heard but you’ve your opinion to express, or anything you feel, or you sense, or any inspiration that flashes through your mind. I hope these tips help, take care. Have me clicked you “liked it”.
