What Do You Do When You Just Can't Write

Writers Write

 

Writers, including freelance writers are writers because they write, but what happens when a writer actually resists the writing, puts it off and does something else? Is that writer still a writer? Do you have periods when writing is the last thing on your mind, when you'll do anything to avoid starting a writing project. Does your blog sometimes lie neglected for days  and your computer think its gone into forced retirement?

Just lately I have found writing one of the hardest things to do, and yet it usually comes quite easy, now I find myself forcing the words onto the page and getting little or no satisfaction from what I have written. The only way I have found to get myself out of this writing slough of despond is to keep sitting down to write until I finally crack my own resistance. How do you pull yourself out of the writing resistance mode?
