It's Not Writer's Block

[keiramarcos]

The thing is I'm perfectly capable of writing. I was taking a part Unspeakable Plot for the triad option (that failed miserably around 100k mark by the way. My plot just can't handle that kind of relationship build, but I digress) and I wrote about 20k of extra material in about four days. So it's not the act of writing that is the problem for me.

I have plenty of ideas so it's not that I don't have any ideas to work on and to be honest I probably have about 50 works in progress that I could spend time on.

I just...don't want to.

I've been writing for three decades so, of course, there have been times when I simply have no desire to do it but I always hate these points in my life as I feel stifled and weird.

There's this moat of dismal around my creative mind and I don't even want to get in the boat and try to cross it.

It's such a weird place to be.

Hugs to you. I hope you get through or past your blahs soon. But however long it takes, maybe you can use this time you don't want to write to do some fun things. Oh! I know! You could take your smart mouthed nephew someplace where you can observe the stupidness of people and have a contest to see who can come up with the funniest insults. Or maybe you can arrange to be coffee nazi for a day again. It sounded like you had fun with that. Well, whatever you do with your non writing time, I hope it makes you happy.....and hey, at least your husband won't have to listen to Josh Groban for little while. ;-)
