What is Writer\u2019s Block?
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

This may seem like a fancy term used for lack of idea<\/em> or inspiration<\/em> to write something. It is partially<\/em> true, but on a scientific level, a lot<\/em> more is involved. Writer’s block<\/em> is a common occurrence amongst writers. It is described as the inability to write productively<\/em> during one or more periods. For writers all around this is a frustrating and annoying time. Even songwriters have often complained of this condition. Think of it as a \u2018dry spell<\/em>\u2019. Except it’s for writers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Historically Documented
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

This problem has been documented in history. Famous writers have gone through a writer\u2019s block from time to time. They often tried many remedies to help the condition. After no avail, some of them would give up<\/em> writing altogether. (What a waste of talent right?)

Celebrated writers like Herman Melville<\/a> as well as Ernest Hemingway<\/a> complained of writer’s block too. In fact, Herman Melville was so affected by it that he quit writing novels a few years after writing Moby Dick<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Causes Writer’s Block?<\/span><\/h2>\n

For some, this is caused because by a lack of inspiration<\/em> which hinders the flow of creative juices<\/em> in the brain. But for others, it can be caused by several causes such as a physical illness, depression, relationship problems, financial pressure, stress<\/em> or a feeling of defeat.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Science has suggested that it may not be just a state of mind<\/em>. A shift<\/em> of control within the brain caused by stress<\/em> can be the culprit. Most of the time writers are unaware of this and blame themselves to be \u2018creatively blocked<\/em>\u2019. Other causes such as trauma to the brain and writer’s anxiety<\/em> have also been linked to writer\u2019s block. <\/span><\/p>\n
