Getting over writer’s block is no easy task. We’ve found that changing things up helps a lot. It’s perfectly fine to take a break from writing. Take the time to be out in nature. Move more. Meet up with your friends and spends some time on the other hobbies that you love so much. In short, you have to give your creative muscles enough time to recover. Enjoy life while you get some much-needed rest.

At the time of writing, the @authorinmyhead Instagram page had just shy of 80k followers. It’s easy to see why so many people enjoy the posts. They’re fun to read and they’re overflowing with creativity. They’re also a fantastic inspiration for anyone who’s been dealing with writer’s block.

Tumblr, which was launched back in 2007, was an immediate hit with internet users. It enjoyed immense popularity. So much so that, in 2013, Yahoo! Inc. bought it for a jaw-dropping sum: 1.1 billion dollars. However, the site’s power has waned over the years. In 2019, Automattic, the parent company of WordPress, bought Tumblr for less than 3 million dollars. Though still a large sum, it’s nowhere near what Yahoo! had paid for it.
According to Statista, in 2019, Tumblr had 472 million registered users and 376 unique visitors around the globe. Its decline started in 2018 after a public backlash due to the platform banning adult content.
