I have all these ideas for poems and short stories and fan fics to write. They're all fleshed out and look pretty good in my head. And man, some lines of the poems are just pretty good for me. So I'll sit down and open up a word document and...

Nothing. 

I just can't write and bam! All the words go away. 

I want to write but nothing's happening and it's so irritating. Even the drafts I have and the pieces I have to edit I just can't do. It's a pain in the ass.

If anyone's got tips for motivating myself or just kicking these words out of me they'd be much appreciated.

Instead of a computer, try the good, old fashioned pen and paper and see if that helps. I know for me, sometimes the computer screen can be more of a hindrance than a help. Also, a lot of the time (at least for me) I have a hard time getting into the bubble where I can focus. What seems to help me get to that point (where I can conquer a lot of ground in about 45 minutes) is to listen to music with my ear buds in (Pandora's Lindsey Stirling station is AMAZING for this!).
