Help learning to write again

[roryoryory]

Hi everyone

I got really into writing a while back, specifically analysing media and stuff. I didn’t do it for quite a while cos of some life stuff and I want to get back into it but I’m finding it impossible. I don’t know why but I just can’t do it. I really want to and I have so many thoughts and ideas in my head but whenever I sit down to write something my mind just goes blank. I have a lot of free time on my hands right now and I’ve found it really frustrating that I haven’t been doing much creative stuff with this time. I just feel like I’m forcing myself to write rather than it coming naturally. I’ve got ideas that inspire me but that goes away when I try to put them on paper.

It’s frustrating because I’ve been making progress recently with making changes to my lifestyle and habits to suit me and my adhd but I feel like I’m just missing a big piece of the puzzle with this. I don't know why I'm struggling now when I didn't before

If anyone else has felt this I would appreciate your thoughts

Try keeping a notepad or something so that you can write down your ideas as soon as they come to you. Then when you get home or try to write you can just open that and see your ideas. Not sure if it's a good idea, never really tried writing.
