Writer's Block

So I know its been a while since I've posted anything but I been having a serious case of writer's block. Not only in my blogging but also in my novel writing its extremely irritating. I do however have a small sample of my work that I am going to post. This will be a little outdated like I said I haven't worked on it for a while but its something.

"Chapter 2

Juliet fluttered her eyelids sleepily and then a quacking yawn shook her body. She blinked in the sunny summer light. And then she smelled her mother's waffles along with the sweet smell of strawberries. It was Saturday morning and Juliet felt good, much better than she had in a long time. As she paused back the covers she glimpsed the strange tattoo on her wrist that she rarely thought about, it was a lion wrapped all around in bright red roses. And Juliet thought of her dark secret. She pushed the covers back and slid slowly off the bed. Another wift of the breakfast Mrs.  Mulberry was preparing down in the kitchen, reached her nose and her stomach growled. A tiny smile touched her lips and the guilt she had just felt, was pushed to the back of her mind as she hurried downstairs. Her mother looked up and smiled as she entered the kitchen. “Hi hun, sleep well?” Juliet smiled and nodded. “Your Dad already left for the office. But I kept you food hot for you.” “Thanks” Juliet took the plate her mother offered her and sat down at their small kitchen table. Her mother went back to the dishes she had been washing, but she kept speaking as she did. “Okay, so today I’m going to be late at the office do your school and fix dinner for your dad and me. I don’t really care what you do, so just figure something out.” Juliet turned away from her mother and stared at the kitchen table. Guilt overwhelmed her. How could she go through with this. How could she hurt her sweet loving mother like this?

           Mrs. Mulberry looked up from the dishes she had just finished putting in the cupboard and turned to grab her keys. As she did the thoughts that had been crashing through Juliet suddenly came bubbling to the surface and she jumped up and through her arms around her mother, a tear or two leaking out of her eyes down her face. Mrs. Mulberry stared at her in shock, “Wh-what’s the matter Jewels?” “Nothing I just love you so much.” her voice broke on the last word and she thought she might start to really cry if she said any more. “I love you too sweetheart” she hugged her back and then headed for the door, Juliet watched her go with a sinking feeling in her gut."
