It doesn't go away totally, but it gets harder, and trying to make yourself do it doesn't always work. It is unpleasant, for sure, and aggravating, and makes you feel diminished somehow, but it's not your fault. That's why it's important to let yourself not write for a time, to rest up, because then you'll be ready when your chance comes again. Wanting to write and feeling like writing and being able to write will all come back, so don't worry. It's not really writer's block, this kind of stoppage; it's just too much going on in life and it crowds out the energy and creativity you need to pour yourself into your writing. There's nothing wrong with you except that you are tired and have too much going on. It won't last, it's just for a season, and then you'll be good to go again.<br /><br />Let yourself rest now, and when there's less going on, see how you feel. Reread some of your old stories to remind yourself how awesome you are at writing. And keep a yellow pad close by and write down all your ideas, because you'll get them for sure. And soon enough, you'll be able to go back to writing them! Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041301706375455739noreply@blogger.com
