Most writers have faced this if not literally, figuratively. The empty pages stare back, waiting. Words fail to materialize, to surface, to comply with the urgency felt at the moment when writers summon creativity to no avail. It's not a welcome feeling, situation, circumstance, condition. There's not a lot of recommended advice that solves the problem.
My solution is to read. You might notice how many novel reviews are showing up here recently. Lately I've managed to write some on one of my in-process stories and have been grateful for every word. Somebody must be praying for me. No question I need it. Welcome it. Hope for it. Crave it.
I've learned I need to reset the discipline factor which simply means I have to quit avoiding the stories I'm working on. Just get back to them. Do it. I like them so there's not a problem there. Just need a boost.
Lord, you know what I need. I count on you but acknowledge my responsibility. Help me, Lord. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
