EVOLUTION Vol.2

THE BREAK-UP

It's time for you and Writer's Block to part ways. Write a letter breaking up with Writer's Block, starting out with, "Dear Writer's Block, it's not you, it's me . . ."

Dear Writer's Block,

It's not you, it's me. After all the time we've spent together, I think it's time for me to move on. I know this may come as a shock, but I think it's for the best.

When we first met, I thought you were just a passing phase. I didn't think you would stick around for so long. But here we are, months later, and I'm still struggling to put words on the page. It's not your fault, of course. You were just doing your job. But I can't keep blaming you for my lack of creativity.

I remember the first time you showed up. I was sitting at my desk, staring at a blank screen, and suddenly you were there, blocking my thoughts and ideas. At first, I tried to push through it. I tried to write something, anything, but you were too powerful. You held me back, stifling my creativity and leaving me with nothing but frustration.

But I can't keep using you as an excuse. It's not fair to either of us. You deserve to be with someone who appreciates you for who you are, someone who can work with you instead of against you. And I deserve to be free of this burden, free to write without fear of failure or rejection.

I'm not saying this is goodbye forever. Maybe we'll cross paths again in the future. Maybe we'll be able to work together again someday. But for now, I need to say goodbye. I need to break free from your grip and explore the limitless possibilities of my own imagination.

Thank you for all the lessons you've taught me. Thank you for showing me what it means to struggle and persevere. But it's time for me to spread my wings and fly on my own. I hope you can understand.

Sincerely,

A Struggling Writer
