What do you do when you can’t think of anything to write?
More than likely, you’ve experienced writer’s block at least once in your life. Perhaps you had a great idea but couldn’t think of how to start. Perhaps you couldn’t even think of an idea, great or not.
Right now, we are in a Mercury Retrograde. This astronomical event occurs when it appears to us, from our perspective here on Earth, that Mercury is going backwards in its orbit.
Mercury is the planet that rules communication, mental activity, and writing. Symbolically, then, we interpret this retrograde phenomenon to mean a time for delays, interruptions, and reflection.
Perhaps, then, writer’s block isn’t all bad. After all, isn’t reflection what writers do best? Nothing wrong with some good old-fashioned deep thought.
Consider letting yourself relax into the retrograde for the next couple of weeks. Go with the messed-up flow. Chill out instead of freak out. What’s the worst that could happen? You might just find that you have a fresh perspective.
