Bloggers Block

-
Hey Guys x

This is what I call a 'live' post, and by that I mean that I'm publishing this the second I finish writing the last word - no picture, no editing, nothing, just a raw post.

I have severe Bloggers Block.

I've had it for weeks, and it's the main reason that my posting has been kind of spotty for the last few weeks, and why I'm really conflicted about doing Blogmas this year.

I don't know what to write about, I have no ideas, and I feel like everything I do write is pointless.

On top of that, I keep forgetting to write posts, which I know sounds ridiculous, but it's true. I planned to write this when I got home at 4 but literally remembered 10 minutes ago.

Part of me feels like just taking a break until December, whether I do Blogmas or not, but I don't want to get to the point where I enjoy not having anything posted.

However, I probably will post a bit less in the coming days and weeks - I'm really sorry about that but there's nothing I can do until I get my spark and passion back. I hope it won't take too long!

Thank you so much for reading.

Comment below some ideas for me!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

    I completely understand this. Especially with forgetting to write posts, I always make plans and then just don't do it. I tend to take a break and then come back and all the post ideas suddenly appear. Hope it all works out soon xx

    Awh no! I'm struggling with bloggers block too. However, I've come up with a way to not let it affect my Blog :P I write a few posts at a time when I have a burst of inspiration. I did around three "Quotes Galore!" posts and put them up when I feel like it. In terms of trying to think of ideas of what to write about, I like to try and pick a topic of some sort from my day and write about it. Sometimes it's hard but I know you'll get through it!
    I hope you have a lovely day,
    Lauren xx

    Hi Lou! Bloggers Block is the worst! I es3epcially hate when I'm really in the mood for writing but have no idea what to say haha! Catriona xx

    PS: I love the term 'live' for unedited posts... on my blog (www.catrionaaitken-draftone.blogspot.com) , ALL the posts are 'live' (hence quite a few typos), partly because I'm lazy, and partly because when I re-read too much I just overanalyse and end up publishing nothing at all! Happy Blogging xx

    The problem I have at the momment is the fact I had 2 weeks of stressful revision for exams. I also post weekly and missed uploading a post one week and now I feel so unmotivated to blog.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

Subservience | Film Review

While struggling with a sick wife and two children, Nick (Michele Morrone) hires an AI android called Alice (Megan Fox) to help out around the house. But when Alice becomes self-aware, Nick finds that he and his family are suddenly in danger. I've watched a few AI-based horror movies in the last month or so, so I was in the mood to give another one a shot. As I'd somewhat enjoyed the others, I thought I'd like this one too. Unfortunately, I didn't like this one much at all. For a start (and this is my fault as I've already mentioned seeing a few films with this concept recently) but the AI-gone-bad premise is no longer new. And when a film uses the concept but doesn't bring any new ideas, it starts feeling a bit stale. This one didn't really have anything new to add to that conversation, and so it didn't feel original. Having said that, I did like that it got right into the story straight away. We know the family, we know their circumstances, we know how

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

Little Miss Sunshine | 100 Movies Bucket List

  The next bucket list pick was a much-anticipated re-watch! I left this one for the bottom half of the list, like a good few others, so I could have something to look forward to towards the end. This is such a lovely film! I was actually really surprised to see it on the bucket list. I knew it was very well-liked by both critics and fans, but I had no idea it had been nominated for (and won) Oscars, so that was a nice surprise. The comedy genre is really sparse on the list, and while this is also a drama, it's so nice to have something light-hearted here - especially because light-hearted films like this can often provoke a bigger emotional reaction than intense dramas. For me, as good as the direction and writing of the film is, the best thing about it is the characters and the actors who play them. This family feels like a real family from their first moment on screen. The characters are all written really authentically, they compliment each other and the actors had great chemis
