Writers Block

Believe it or not; writers block can be the most frustrating, excruciating, painful thing. that any writer can experience.  There is nothing worse, than starting that first draft of anything and having writers block hit.

Wham! It can happen just like that and it can last for...God only knows how long!

It sucks, it sucks worse than most things in life and if you can't relate to it, you wouldn't understand.

I have three posts started for this blog, that I haven't been able to finish. Not to mention a Romance book that is eating up the memory space on my computer, because I can't move on to the next page. Did I mention the six Screen Plays, that I have going on at once.

Yes, it happens to me, it sucks and I hate it! Though I can't give up on myself as a writer, because it's my passion and I love it. So everyday I jump on my lap tap and tell myself, today I will will finish writing this, or I will write for my blog and then nothing! It is another love-hate relationship that I have and I can add to my list.

Selling my work, well that is another thing that I haven't completely committed to. Maybe I have commitment issues, or a bunch of lame ass excuses that I can use, for not putting effort into making it happen for myself.

I google writers block remedies, to help me cure this painful disease and still nothing! "They Say" that the best way to cure writers block, is to write. Write what?

That is what inspired me to write this lame ass post about writers block, to cure myself! Will this be my remedy? Writing a stupid post, just to prevent myself from staring at the blank page, time will tell.

I'm sure I will know in the middle of the night, when I wake up to my brain racing with scenes, from a movie that is rolling around in my dreams, that I will start to write and maybe someday finish. Then maybe "someday" will appear on a big screen, if I actually get off of my ass and try and sell.

Usually, I look for other things to do, when this hits me. I paint or take out a notebook and doodle, that also includes writing the word doodle, on a blank piece of paper. I recently took up Yoga to try and find my balance, get my body in better shape and to help me to not think about writing for a few minutes.

I will write a letter to someone and then not mail it. I will dream of what I will do when I actually sell a Screenplay. I think of charities that I can help, by donating my writing skills. I clean out my closets and donate stuff to charities.

Yep, it's like beating the blues! I try to write the lyrics for a beautiful song. I try to write poetry. I look on dating sights, to see what the options are for single men, in this lonely world of love. I write about how scary the options are on the dating sights, by only using ten descriptive words.

Am I "dried" up as a writer? No, I know that I'm not, I have much more locked up inside of me, to write about.

This is me Bobbie and I know I always have more to say and write about. I just actually wrote this post, so I know I'm making progress already!

Everyone have a great weekend!

The Women and Girls of Kenya: Part 5

Image
As I conclude sharing with you, what I have learned about the women and girls of Kenya, I am going to share more detail, about the Malkia Foundation. I already introduced you to Phionah Musumba, the Founder and Executive Director. Though the Malkia Foundation has excepted many donations of different kinds, Phionah is looking for a partner or a financial investor, to help the foundation succeed. The ideal candidate, is someone that wants their presence to be felt in Africa, someone with heart and financial resources, to make a difference. The core value of the Malkia Foundation, is to help empower the young girls and women of Kenya, through education and job skills, for economic and enterprise development. Here are just five ways, that a difference is already being made. The Malkia Foundation is working with the YWCA and the Girls Scouts of America, in Austin Texas. The YWCA has donated Computers and supplies for the Vocational College and the Girl Scouts, are starting a center ...

Slaying the Slump and Bringing It

Image
We all know what a slump is, we all end up there, in one way or another. The most challenging thing, is getting ourselves out of that slump and back on track. This has been my challenge, over the past two months, since empty nest syndrome kicked in, when my youngest child left home. I do believe it all starts with that ugly word--PROCRASTINATION! We procrastinate things and it causes us to slip into a slump. I knew that I needed to write a post for my blog, yet I procrastinated and put it off.  I know that I should do Yoga or some sort of exercise, to keep myself in shape, then I don't. I think about eating healthy foods, because it's better for my health, then I grab a Burger for lunch. I knew I had to get 125 pages of my latest Screenplay written, because I had already paid my entry fee and I didn't. I think procrastination happens when we are on over load. I personally, get to much going on at once and then, I get off track and end up in a slump. Instead of doin...

The Little Things

Life takes us down many roads as we chase after our dreams, we often take for granted the beauty of what we are surrounded with. When we consume ourselves chasing after our dreams, we often forget to stop and smell the flowers. The one thing that I have learned is to appreciate the priceless little things in life What I am talking about are the things that are priceless, that money can't buy. Such as a beautiful sunset over the ocean. The feel of the sand between our toes. The way the sun feels on your skin, when it is shining on you, on a perfect day. The smell of flowers in the air, when they blossom in the Spring. As a parent, you learn that when you don't have money to provide for your children the way you had hoped, you learn to appreciate the little things of being a parent. The feeling you get the first time you look into your babies eyes. The sound of the first time they laugh. The smile on a child's face, when they see a toy and they get a gleam in their eyes....
