Hello, my name is Tom Palladino and I have writer’s block. I am not a professional writer by any sense of the word; I have not made any money of the stories that I have written. However, I do write stories for fun and writing has been also a therapeutic process for me. I have been depressed for a couple of years now but when I am writing I forget about the depression for a brief moment. The more that I write, the more I get better mentally. I am in the process of writing a book called “Purple Converse,” it is about this depressed man who meets this strange women who slowly cures him of the depression. Now, I know what you are thinking and I only used my experience with depression as a basis for the main character; the main character is not an exact replica of I. I have not written any more of “Purple Converse” in about two to three months. I have been writing really brief stories as part of a way to heal myself of the writer’s block that I read online. There was not really a point to this blog post, other then the fact that it is an explanation on why the posts to Laptop Nation has been sporadic lately. If any of you guys out there have writer’s block yourself, either now or at some point in time, please share your experiences in the comments section. Also share how you rid yourself of the writer’s block.
I have two finals tomorrow, so I don’t know when I will be posting next. However, until that next time, see you later.
