You know you have writer’s block when:
1. You’ve been staring at the blinking curser on a blank word document until you admire it as a piece of minimalist art.
2. You’ve written and deleted the same sentence 10 times.
3. You wonder why you forget how to use words.
4. After staring at the blinking curser, you write the word “The” and stare at that for 30 more minutes.
5. You go to Netflix for “inspiration.”
6. You listen to the Forrest Gump soundtrack as you cry over the motivational posters your grandma emails you and still come up with nothing.
7. You eat copious amounts of popcorn.
8. You realize you wrote Harry Potter fanfiction instead of your English essay.
9. You consider turning in five blank pieces of paper.
10. Your editor tells you to write a blog but you come up with this list instead.
