Lately, I have real trouble putting the words in my head and thoughts to the page. I can't write in pen to paper nor onto a computer screen. I don't believe it's writer's block as I don't think that exists. I have always thought writer's block was mainly a creative void because the story wasn't fleshed out enough and you're just stuck until you figure it out. It could be my trouble now, but I have more than enough notes and a few very rough paragraphs and pages here and there so I have written in the past. But, I just can't seem put what I want into words, physical words onto the page. Yet, I know... the irony... I'm doing it right now, but it's just not the same thing. I tried even just speed writing about - well, anything, even scenes from my story and the words just won't come out nor flow. At most, I'm a leaky faucet, with one or two annoying drips every week or so. I feel I've come to a point in my life where the words are trapped and will not come out no matter what I've tried. Age, depression, fear I'm sure may be a part of it all. Anyone ever have days, weeks, even months were the story is there, hot in your head and blood, ready to spill out but when you sit in front of the computer or notebook, it refuses its exit? Perhaps it's a deep, subconscious thing? Help.
