Not again! Once again you are faced with that blank intimidating white space on the wedding anniversary greeting card. I’m sure you know exactly the spot I mean. That spot right underneath the preprinted poem or verse. That spot where everyone expects you to write something. That spot that is only less than two-inches tall but seems as large as a small throw rug when the time comes to fill it with your own thoughts. I call that spot the Bermuda Rectangle.
But your brain is not about to cooperate. Your brain has been lost at sea (brain overboard!) – just when you needed it the most. All you can think of writing is “Happy Anniversary” which is not only redundant (because it already says that on the front of the anniversary card), but also boring because everybody else’s card also says that.
Wedding Anniversary Greetings Can Be Difficult to Write When You’re Plagued by Social Writer’s Block
Have you ever heard of social writer’s block? I would be very surprised if you did because I just made that term up. But even if you’ve never heard the term, (and of course no one has – because, as I just told you – I made that name up) you have felt its effects. Social writer’s block is that feeling of intimidation you get when you’re staring face-to-face with the aforementioned Bermuda Rectangle (or would it be face-to-page?) When we are under the influence of the Bermuda Rectangle, all productive thoughts about creative wedding anniversary greetings disappear into thin air – like sailing vessels claimed by the Bermuda Triangle. Once this happens, we are doomed to stare unproductively and fruitlessly into that white space of oblivion.
Stimulate Those Wedding Anniversary Greeting Words
Do you remember the last time you planned a trip or vacation? The first thing you do is try to come up with a destination. You might consider going to the ocean, or the mountains, or Hawaii, or maybe even Flapping Heron State Park. Eventually, no matter how hard you think, you run out of good ideas. You just can’t come up with anything new. However, if you were to take a trip down to the library and look at travel guides; or hop on the Internet and explore some travel websites, you would have absolutely no problem identifying some more great places to go.
It’s exactly the same principle working when you’re attempting to write something good on the wedding anniversary greeting card. Working it solo, you may be able to generate a few acceptable greetings; but if you can find ways to stimulate your thoughts, the ideas will really begin to flow.
