Why Can't I Write My Own?

Nathan Hangen · 01-04-2009, 02:19 AM

Well here's the deal, as odd as it sounds I can write the daylights out of articles for other people. I've been writing fast and furious for a month now with no issues. However, when I go to write my own articles, I either get writer's block or I simply don't feel like doing it...am I insane?

I'm curious if anyone else faces similar issues and how they resolve it. Maybe it is because I am not seeing immediate income, but I know that my articles can help me more than a small writing job will. I just don't understand this weird mental block.

Its because your accountable to the people that hire you. You feel a sense of obligation and if you dont do it your A. not going to get money B. going to have someone very pissed off at you.

Its the difference between having someone standing over your shoulder telling you to write or having no one to get pissed off at you if you slack off.
