Blank Page

Step into the shoes of a struggling writer who finds themself trapped in a frustrating void of inspiration. In this experimental narrative, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery, overcoming obstacles, and reclaiming your creative spirit.

This short story talks about the doubts that assail any creator when starting their creative process. In the story, we take a writer's place, but much of the text is valid for any creative discipline since all arts have their version of the “Blank Page Syndrome”.

As an interactive fiction writer I feel very much reflected in the concerns and fears expressed here, but what is crucial for me is what you, the player, feel when you experience this little piece.

I truly hope that this little work resonates with you.
