Using Prayer to Battle Writer's Block is a Great Way to Get the Words to Flow


by Larry J. Leech II @LarryJLeechII

Some days the words just don’t want to flow when I sit at the computer to write. Doesn’t matter if I need to work on a ghostwriting chapter, some of my fiction, or a blog. Even this blog didn’t come easily.

Stress, lack of sleep, thoughts wandering to chores, or adulting can keep the words from flowing freely. During my twenty-three years as a journalist, writer’s block just was not an option. When I sat to write a story for the next morning’s paper, I had to produce. I can’t say that I didn’t struggle once in a while to cobble together a coherent story. But this book, and later blog, writing gig taught me that writer’s block was a real thing.
