What happens to your blog when you loose your voice?
No - it's not a rhetorical question. And no, I don't mean physiologically loosing voice, like laryngitis, or from writer's block like procrastination. I mean when you just can't write due to an emotional reaction to a traumatic personal event?
For me - it's 4 weeks, to the day now, and I've finally found my voice... Here's a few tips I tried, and here's what worked.
Tried, tested - didn't work:
- Just write - anything, something
Nothing inspired me enough to move me to writing - Focus on a topic that inspires or ignites you passion / values or similar
Nothing was that important or interesting - Talk to people
I wasn't doing that either - and didn't want to! - Draft pieces of writing and review
Did that - but couldn't publish - I just didn't want to be in a public domain
What worked:
- Acknowledge your state of mind and emotions
- Wait for the time that it feels right again
- When is it going to feel right again?
Dunno - but something will inspire you to finally step and say - hang on a sec.. I'd like to make a contribution to that conversation
So - I'm back.. slowly but surely I'm re-aligning and re-focusing and I think I can write again...
Standby for updates.
