That Damn Block


This is something that everyone in the creative-field can relate to: trying to think of an idea and then hitting that damn block every now and then.

Whether you're an advertising agency trying to present a campaign to your client, or you're a scriptwriter thinking of a bomb ass plot for your next Malay drama, or you're just a plain old blogger like me, every time you're trying to think of an idea, your mind just goes blank like the parking space in the image above, calling it quits and decide to spend the next few hours scrolling Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tinder, Snapchat and so on.

That's in Menara Rajawali, SS15 Subang Jaya, by the way. I think I took that picture back in 2019, can't remember.

Anyway, the craziest bit is when you discover a breakthrough for whatever you're working on, it's always when you list expect it. For example, I came out with the idea to write this very article when I was about to sleep - which by the way is around 10.00PM or so. Few days later, here I am typing it out.

I created a new blog for car-related topics on the 31st January and as of today, I have two drafts because I keep on hitting that block. Sometimes this blockade can last between a few hours up to weeks and honestly, I hate it. But I guess that's normal in the creative thought process, right?

Anyway, that's all I have for now. I'll probably think of something else to write when my head is buried deep or when I'm showering. Right now, I'm helping my dad run his café by doing deliveries, errands, being a cashier and whatnot. Feel free to check it out here.

Until then, see you in the next entry!

P.S. is there a way to connect my blog with my Facebook? That way I can share a lot easier every time I came out with a new entry.
