Writer's block? Scribble what comes to mind

Remember the first time you announced your blog to your friends and all them went 'Wow, you got a blog, we are so impressed. Keep up the good work!' Chances are most of us must have heard something like this when we blogged for the first time. After all, it's no easy thing to give time, frame your thoughts, give structure to a post, proof read, and publish. Blogging requires effort. A good consistent effort to write on the niche you want to establish yourself in. I started off 2012 announcing 'new big more @maktion' with a good 5 posts in January but then suddenly in February I could not write a single post. Was it intentional? Was it that hard? Or, was I genuinely occupied with work and didn't find time? In a nutshell, through this post I will attempt to explore why does 'writer's block' happen, when it happens? And what should one do to get over it.
