Even when you’ve carefully mapped out a story, there are still days when the words just don’t come. I’m living that truth today with the third installment of my Bergeron Witch Series. I know exactly where the story needs to go, but I’ve hit a stubborn spot in the middle, and pushing past it feels like trudging through quicksand.
Instead of forcing myself to grind through, I’ve learned it’s better to step back. Today, that means taking a short break, listening to a mellow jazz record, and letting a cozy fall scene play on my TV courtesy of YouTube. It’s a way of giving my brain a reset—reminding myself that writing doesn’t have to be a battle.
I also have a daily commitment: at least 30 minutes of writing, no matter what. On days when the story itself feels stuck, I find other ways to keep the words flowing. That’s how this blog post came to be. It’s not part of the witch series, but it iswriting. It keeps my creative muscles warm without forcing the story before it’s ready.
Writer’s block isn’t always a wall. Sometimes it’s just a signal to pause, breathe, and find a different doorway into the work.
