This happens to me often, where I'll start a sentence and soon have to force its ending. Which sucks because writing's supposed to be honest and cathartic. Sometimes I'll write stream of consciousness or make a list of things on my mind or apply pressure when handwriting to tease out intensity which sometimes help by being a proxy for blocked ideas. But sometimes nothing helps lmaooo
interesting about applying pressure when handwriting. I used to do this a lot as a kid when writing stories just like out of habit. random but do you handwrite your drafts often?
"This happens to me a lot. I start writing something, and all of a sudden in the middle of a sentence, what I’m saying just doesn’t feel true to me anymore. Does anyone else feel this way?" ALL THE TIME!! when i journal for myself, and get deep into it, sometimes i enter a weird dissociation where nothing i write seems real or true.

Not too often, but the pressure thing's more useful when journaling I think bc those emotions are lurkin and looking for some way out
