How do you deal with writer’s block?

I write about the event, or experience, or what I learned from it. Sometimes it's drivel, sometimes it's inspiring, sometimes it's clear later that there were other lessons and opportunities I missed.

Writer's block with me is also correlated with not having TIME to think and write... When I make time just to write, think and be in tune with what is around me, the answer comes. If it comes to me all at once, I write until I get it all out. Other times, I collect scraps over a long period, waiting for the inspiration that ties it all together. Everyone has to find their own way. (less)

The one who writes it down is the one who controls the telling of history. The written word is the voice long after the speaker is gone. The writer chooses how the message is conveyed, and sometimes to whom. Writers share ideas between people of the world.

Anyone can do it with minimal resources (no electricity required to initiate it). Reading and writing are revolutionary tools, it is no wonder that many places in the world control who receives the education to read or write well; these are tools of power. I am always amazed at how many actually choose not to develop these skills, giving up an element of power in society. While I appreciate the effectiveness of social media, film and the occasional viral video, I still believe that writing remains a critical tool for implementing ideas that change the world. (less)
