Writing is enjoyable but can be difficult, and making each story and each character different can be challenging. I imagine all writers run into writing blocks where they can't decide which direction the story should take next. Sometimes I know that I have to take a break from my writing and clear my mind before I take a story further...or even start a new story. Matter of fact, I've been on a bit of a hiatus from writing for a while as other important projects have been interrupting my story imagination.
One of my favorite projects to start when my writing is stalled is painting, whether a piece of art, a craft project, or even painting a room. Sometimes these projects take precedence over writing. My granddaughter recently graduated and my daughter asked me to paint her a box. I've painted many boxes. Why boxes? I don't know, but I still have a few more to paint. My granddaughter called hers a keep-sake box for her odds and end. I also have a few rooms that need painting and updating.
So lately, my projects have kept me from writing. I have a long list of books to work on but my enthusiasm has been missing.
