@matigo I like what you said about "Writing isn't just about skill or productivity; it's about alignment. When we're out of alignment—with our purpose, our curiosity, or even our inner voice—the words don't flow."
Also, the solution you proposed was useful: "Writer's block, frustrating as it is, might just be the mind's way of saying: Pause. Breathe. Pay attention."
Mindfulness when writing, is perhaps what you are recommending, I gathered. Sounds like a good plan.
It's said that just writing stream-of-consciousness style can help clear out the cobwebs in your brain. That doesn't seem to help me much lately, but it has been useful at times. I often go out for walks with a voice recorder and just talk aloud (not caring overly much about what passersby are thinking, although I do prefer doing this when other people are not around), and I find that can often help unclog any "stuck" thinking processes, even though it may not provide the best answers.
