The same way I deal with "life block" - Journaling! If you're stuck, journal about why you'rr stuck. What can't you figure out? What is the possible solution? What do you like and not like about those solutions?
Honestly, getting your thoughts out of your head and onto paper will unlock so much creativity for you to draw from.

The freedom to tell stories I want to tell. No figure of speech, there are unlimited stories that can be told through books, short stories, essays, and articles. I love to learn and explore, so this is the best way to do so!

Just start! All you need to write is a pencil and motivation. If you're an "aspiring" writer, you've already got the hard part down!

I've got 2 projects in the works.
The first is an almost-complete manuscript of my economic and political philosophy. Titled "The Case for Economic Democracy," it spells out the philosophy of political democracy and how//why they can be expanded to the economic sphere.
The second is a historical fiction novel that draws on elements of fantasy and science fiction. Picture "A Song of Ice and Fire" if the fantasy was swapped for sci-fi and the world wasn't make believe.

I've always had a vague notion of wanting to be a writer, but once the COVID lockdowns slowed life down, I thought, "now or never!"

Growing up as a young man in America, it's impossible to escape the cultural significance of WWII in movies, video games, and books. But I always felt WWII books were a bit stale and told the "approved" version of history.
I wanted to write a story that not only shook up the classic WWII setting with elements of modern thrillers and horror, but included characters besides white men. After all, the Allied victory was a multi-national effort.
