Mark Archer Hi Cintia - I just want to say I know the feeling. I'm over 60 years old and have led a great life in different parts of the world, but will any of it transfer to paper? Not so far anyway and I sometimes think I wasn't born to it. Have you asked yourself, why you aspire to be a writer?
I recently read a good book by Graham Greene called In Search of a Character Two African Journals, which is just about Greene going through exactly what you are, but managing nevertheless - in the midst of boredom, frustration and all the rest of it, to hit on a story despite. The result is a great novel, A Burnt-Out Case. Read the journal and then the book and it gives a great insight into overcoming what you're suffering from. The other thing Greene divulged is that he wrote 500 words a day "not a word more, not a word less"
