Wednesday's Ray: Itching to Write

     I have just been itching to write! I want to write something, anything so very badly, but when I pick up my pen and hover it over the blank lined paper...nothing. This feels worse than having writer's block! What does one even do in this situation?

     Well, write about it, obviously!
     So, here I am, writing about my simply terrifying dilemma. Here I am telling you. Hi! 
     As a writer of many different things, I have this itch that cannot be scratched, and there's just nothing I can do about it...aside from write about it, of course! 
    I have always thought that the eternal struggle was to get what's in your head to the paper, but I was so mislead! It's clearly wanting to write ever. So. Badly. BUT you can't seem to find anything worth writing about. (Nothing aside from the problem itself!)
   For every writer, the struggle is different. I mean, I guess some writers never have writer's block (Which is not even remotely normal, by the way), some writers have a special technique to avoid writer's block, and others--like myself--just let the block come rolling toward us because we're too lazy to avoid it. Every writer knows these things, right? How, might I ask, do those writers cure their impossible-to-scratch itch?! Is there a cure?!
   I was thinking writing prompts? I mean, writing prompts are always a good way to get your gears turning. Or, even better, I could just write about it...
   So, yes, this was my Wednesday morning rant about having the desire to write, but nothing to write about. Sorry if I bored you. 


“You see, in my view a writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, because everything she does is golden. In my view a writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway."--Junot Diaz
