Your Next Hit Is Behind a Playful Moment

07 Nov 2026 #misc

Creative block is real. Writer’s block is real.

Not every single day is productive.
Sometimes writing a daily post is a piece of cake.
Other times, a daily post is just to avoid breaking the chain.

In recent months, I went through an episode of stress that disrupted my sleep.
Writing didn’t flow for quite a while.
No aha moments. No rushing to capture a thunder of creativity.

To spark the joy of writing, I started a secret book project.
No deadlines. No announcements.
No other expectations than enjoying the process.

Since then, I’ve written one story after a casual encounter at a grocery store, another story after running errands on Halloween all day long, and a piece of poetry for the first time… and I’ve had to stop doing the dishes to write down ideas before I forget them.

Now that I connect the dots, I’ve done my best writing when I feel free.

To get your juices flowing, you need to sit down to write without pressure, guilt, or judgment. Just play!
