I don't think you're at all alo...Hey Jocie! I don't think you're at all alone in that, seeing as there really are so many different "coping strategies" out there. I think the the thing is that we all have our different ways of coping. To be honest, I still haven't found mine. It's hit and miss depending on the day. Sometimes it'll be going for a walk that helps, other times listening to heavy metal at full volume, other times if I just keep pushing I break through, and sometimes I just need to reconnect with the things that inspire me, be it a good book, a Star Wars marathon, or some anime. I wrote (very poorly, I'm afraid) a post a while ago now about <a href="http://www.millicentnankivell.com/2013/10/writers-block-fear-of-failure/" rel="nofollow">Writers Block and the Fear of Failure</a>, because I think fear is a sneaky thing that creeps in when we're really not expecting it, and sometimes we don't even realise that it is fear which is causing our problems! Know though, that you are not alone in this! Plus, you seem to be gradually getting further and further into your stories - keep going and one day, you <i>will</i> finish one :)<br /><br />Oh rats, your comments don't allow me to use any of my current profiles.
