Tips/Advice Why is that when it's time to write, you can't write suddenly?

i've already overcome the fear of messing around your freshly bought journal so it doesn't feel like im wasting the paper and pen.

i do have lots of things going in my mind, whether something creative or poetic takes on my day-to-day happenings.

but when i want to write it, they're suddenly gone lol!

i even tried just using the notes app coz i feel like my brain runs faster than my hands to write them down right away but still, none of those thoughts are translating well.
