Writing Demons

Today I found a very appropriate picture and I named it Writing Demons:

Which is your demon hanging onto you, Writer?

1) Doubt

2) Procrastination

3) Fear

4) Daily Chores (yes, bills, included)

5) Family

6) FEAR (there is a capital-lettered one different from #3)

7) Blockage

8) Over-Analysis

9) Bloatedness

10) False Friends

11) Dependence

12) Critics and Fear of Criticism

13) Desire, or lack of

14) Dreams and Fantasies

15) Weak Will

There are more, but let's stop here before you scare yourself too much. Or maybe, you can tell me what is it exactly that's freezing your brain these days? I am a good listener.

Imploration

There's a darkness in a writer's soul that even my light cannot shine for you. I know how cold it is there; I have seen you shiver when you tread into that cavern. Don't stay in there too long. Whatever you're seeking in there might harm you. I do not know; I have never been there. I only know that it stops you from writing. Stops you from creating. Stops you from being.

You have gone in there too long this time. The frost is not good for you. Do not keep grieving.

Grief can freeze a writer's soul.

Come back. Create.

You out there: what is stopping you today? Because there are places Gennita's Muse advises you to avoid.
