Ugh!

I’ve been working on a book for about 8 months on and off, I’ve been so busy and now I have writers block… UGH! It’s horrible!
How to get rid of writer's block
It made me
Content 
"I learnt to divide process and result and when I write for my eyes only I'm not anxious about what I'm writing"
How I did it: This spring I've been expressing myself through drawings and other visual media - and I had to get over the fact that I haven't drawn since I was in school so it doesn't look very nice - not until I've practised the same motive a lot of times. I realised that it is the same with writing: the first time we're writing something it is to learn about the theme ourselves - and only after several drafts might others be invited in to comment. And I don't even have to start writing - I can also draw or make a sculpture or anything and it works just as fine!
Lessons & tips: Don't be afraid to fail. And don't sit down by the computer if you're conceptualizing what you want to write.
Resources: A set of coloured pencils are always handy - and I never anymore write with a ballpoint, it is too harsh on the hand.

I don’t know what is wrong with me lately. I’m usually quite creative but lately I can’t talk or write. Everything is so horrible, ugh!!! I want to die. I’m just gonna try and write. I mean I just am listening to something or other in the comomon sense of it. And the fucuy is o incredibly sutpid. I’m stuck

Yeah, pretty much gone. The idea seems like crap now to me. Is that normal to doubt yourself a lot when you write it on how bad it is, when at the moment it felt like a good idea?
I wish I knew how to cure being brain dead. I feel like it, since I’ve been writing too much. I’m making this a painful process, and I’m overthinking it. It’s become a ritual where I write and try to fix everything at once. I guess I’ve had enough of waiting. I want my novel to finally be done.
I should really take a break. I’ve written a considerable amount that would boggle some people as to why I did it all in one sitting (30,000 words), and it feel like it isn’t what people want to read. Maybe I’ve set things in the wrong perspective. I don’t know.
I need to stop pushing myself. Maybe people would like it. Right now, I’m not so sure. I’m my worst critic at times.

Finally! Looks like I`m writing again! I had a sudden burst of inspiration this weekend and finally wrote again! I hope this inspiration is going to last a while longer, so that I`ll be able to finish my story! =]

A week ago I started writing a story that I had been working on for 3 years on and off. Inspiration came to me and I found myself from 19 pages to 31 pages in a day or so. I can’t believe it happened. I haven’t written anything on it in a while, but I’m probably going through my phase where I am thinking, “I don’t want to ruin what I already have by rushing.” Plus, my life is busy right now. But I’m definitely happy with what I have so far!

I had a writer`s block for almost half a year now! so depressing! I hopped to break it during the summer, but I barely have the time to write! My boyfriend helps me with my ideas sometimes, but I still don`t seem to get fully rid of it!
Man, muses are annoying! :P
Yes, it’s a rough draft. But what’s different is I finished it.
I’ve had so many false starts. This feels different.
