Inspired Writing: When Writer’s Block means you’ve lost the spark, the thread, the plot (writing with ADHD, creative burnout)
You haven’t lost the desire to write.
You’ve lost your way back to it.
If writing once felt natural and now feels heavy, confusing or strangely out of reach, you’re not alone. Writer’s block isn’t always about a lack of ideas. Often, it’s what happens after burnout, overwhelm, or years of pushing yourself to create in ways that no longer fit.
This book begins with that understanding.
Inspired Writing is for writers who still care deeply but no longer trust their creative rhythm. For those carrying unfinished drafts, abandoned notebooks, and the quiet belief that they should be further along by now. For neurodivergent writers, burnt-out writers, and anyone tired of being told to “just write more”.
There’s no productivity system here. No daily word counts. No pressure to perform.
Instead, this book offers a gentler way back.
Inside, you’ll
• practical tools for writing with scattered or inconsistent energy
• ways to re-enter unfinished work without shame or self-criticism
• low-pressure prompts that rebuild trust in your voice
• permission to write nonfiction when fiction feels impossible
• guidance on finishing something without burning out
Rather than forcing inspiration, this book helps you create the conditions where it can return on its own. Slowly. Naturally. In a way that respects who you are now, not who you think you should be.
If you long to write again but don’t know how to begin, Inspired Writing meets the desire you already to come back quietly, imperfectly, and honestly.
You’re not behind.
You’re not blocked.
You’re simply in between — and this is your invitation to return.

About the author
Norah Deay
114 books1 followerI've lived in New Zealand, The Netherlands and the UK and am now back in Ireland. I love moving; moving house, moving country - it's all fun to me.
I believe I'm only coming into my writing prime now that I'm in my 50s. I'm becoming more honest with myself, about myself and what I like to write.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter or ten.
