Hi guys! Welcome to a new segment I’m starting called Friday Ramblings. On Fridays, I’ll talk about anything – anything and everything that’s on my mind. I’d love to hear your thoughts on Friday Ramblings, as well! Be sure to drop me a comment. xx
I’m always talking. Always. Sometimes I talk out loud, and sometimes I talk to myself, and sometimes I talk to my imaginary friends who tell me all about their world and life and I write their stories down. I always have something to say, in my head, at least.
But every time I sit down, be it at the computer or journal or whatnot, it seems I have nothing to say. My mind goes completely blank. The cursor or blank page stares at me, and I can’t thing of a darned thing. Why is that? I have plenty to say. I know for a fact that my mind never stops working; the wheels never stop turning in my little brain.
Does this ever happen to you? I tried doing some research on why our little minds go blank, but everything came to social anxiety or standing in front of crowds. Which, let me assure you, I have neither. So why, oh why, can I NEVER thing of a single meaningful word to say when I want and/or need to?
Maybe it’s because I’m intimidated by what everyone else has to say. I’m surrounded by brilliant people. My parents and sister, friends, blogs I follow. Everyone has something important to say.
Maybe it’s because what I do have to say doesn’t seem important to me. What is deemed as important, anyway?
I think everyone has something important to say, whether they say it or not. But no one will know what it is you have to say until you say it.

I’m not really a very talkative person, but I have this problem, too, sometimes where I don’t know what to write when I actually sit down to write. I think what causes me to sometimes not be able to find the words is fear. Sometimes I’m scared that the words won’t come out right or that I won’t like the story. Other times, I’m just completely overwhelmed by finishing the whole piece (especially, when it comes to novels), and I forget to take it step by step instead of scaring myself with the big picture. My solution is just to write and not worry. It takes practice to be able to do this, but eventually it gets easier. It definitely has for me.
That’s the exact same problem I have. I always look at the big picture before I look at the small picture. At least I know I’m not alone! 🙂
I have this same exact problem. As a writer myself, it’s kind of frustrating. For example, I’m sitting at my laptop trying to think of what else to say. :T
Lol! No worries! 😀
I wrote a comment earlier but it didn’t post I guess. I am usually only slightly quiet around people I don’t know. But that usually only lasts for a little while. I don’t struggle very badly( yet) to write my thoughts done. I’m thinking seriously about starting a blog. I’m planning on asking my parents about it soon after we get home from our trip. We get home tomorrow but I won’t ask tomorrow. Maybe Monday. I’ll let you know if I’m allowed to start a blog or not. Keep on writing!!
Oh and I think I ma have to steal a few of your ideas if I start a blog. Like friday ramblings ( I really like Friday ramblings) and Im sure I’ll do book reviews. Were do you find the stars? I think they are really cool. And where do you find all the cool gifs. I haven’t asked if I can have a blog yet but I’m going to try to ask this week. Oh, I am planning to write a story for heather vogel’s story starters and I would love for you to check it out when it posts and tell me if it was any good or not
I feel this way 99% of the time. My head wont shut up until I sit down to write and then it’s as if every thought goes to play hide and seek. Except no matter how long I seek they never can all be found…it’s not very nice of them.
It’s not nice at all! 🙂
