Do you ever find that you get anxious when you take a break from writing, only to sit down to write and find you cant actually put anything down on paper?

Its SO FRUSTRATING. Work got in the way and now I've lost my flow. Everything I write or edit feels like Im pulling teeth.

Me too! Thought about this story for ages, but no idea how to actually get into it!

Yes, unfortunately! At the moment, I have an idea for a story which I can't stop thinking about - however, every time I sit down to try and write something, I get absolutely nowhere. I don't know whether it's a confidence thing, or a sign that there's something fundamentally wrong with my idea that needs addressing!
