In my experience, writer's block is caused by one of two things: either you've let the well that recharges your writing go dry, or your worldbuilding isn't working. Recharging your creative center is crucial--self-care is important. I burned the candle at both ends for several years trying to do too many things, and I just couldn't keep up the pace. I was fortunate enough to have the support of good writing friends to get through it.
Story problems will also manifest in writer's block. That kind of problem is best submitted to a trusted friend to help you through what's not working in your story. Cherish your friends who let you brainstorm with them, because they are like a rare metal and hard to find.

i never knew how to get started with my writing. People tell me when they read anything i write that they feel good, and they think i have talent. My problem is i never got a break in anything regarding publishing. (Depression/anxiety always holding me back). I once was selectedby NOLA's Times Picayune, a 'poetry reflection story' on the historical Fairgrounds. It was short nsweet, how do i write more?
