Entry 2

My inner critics sometimes tells me that the way I write is not good, and it's terrible and not understandable. When I write I don’t read my own stories or whatsoever because my inner critic can tell the most infuriating words it can tell and that lowers my self-esteem so when I need someone to proof read it I usually let other person to read it and critiques it.

 

Beside my inner critic, I can say that it’s my perfectionist side. I am beyond the line of being perfectionist and that's one of a bad thing I have. Being perfectionist I can see even the small flaw and with that the whole concept will just change and that's hard for me as a writer since I need to update regularly and being perfectionist is a hinder.

 

When I tend to have writers block, I either listen to music, relax my mind or read a book. Reading books is 100% a good combat when I face writer's block because sometimes it can help my esteem to write or sometimes it can give me wide range of ideas that I can use in order to write.

 

When I ask my co-writers friend, they told me that listening to music can be a great help because listening to music can also relax your mind and sometimes gives you idea by just the music itself and what they said seems true because some of my poetry or stories came from a song I listened to.

 

In order to combat my writers block I think I need my mind to go with the flow and not just juice out ideas because it can exhaust my mind so maybe I need to relax and let my mind do it work.
