One of the hardest things to do for me is to sit in silence. As soon as it gets silent I am looking for the easiest distraction. My distraction of choice lately has been my phone. Growing up it used to be video games, cartoons and playing sports. Maybe this is why I was never a fan of school because we were told to sit there and be quiet. I needed something to keep be engaged and learning about proper grammar was not it. That is why it is ironic that I find myself a blogger. When it comes to writing the blogs I look for distractions to get me out of it. I come up with excuses why I shouldn’t do it. I am not good enough. What if someone judges me. There are endless reasons why I shouldn’t do it but only one reason why I should. I want to.

Blog #269 – Creativity Comes When you are out of Ideas
As soon as you think you have exhausted all of your resources. As soon as you think there is nothing else you can do. As soon as your back is up against the wall and there are no more options. This is when you are the most creative.
You have tried all your ideas so you have to come up with new ones. These new ideas are often so creative that you do not even think it will work. Try it anyway and see what happens.
This is running into the wall as compared to running through the wall. There is no such thing as writers block. Just keep writing.
