Munday - Writing Blues
What do you do when you feel like you've lost the motivation to write? Not because you have writer's block necessarily - but just that fundamental desire to put pen to paper, or fingers to keys?
How do you rekindle your desire to write?
I went through this a few months back -- just had absolutely no desire to write. I'm not entirely sure how I got out of it, but I think part of it was just making myself write -- making myself a promise to get out at least a drabble's worth of writing per day. This is also about the time that I started trying to write first thing in the morning, or close enough to. That helped a lot in getting me feeling actually creative again. Honestly, I'm just glad to be through with that slump. It was a really unpleasant feeling, wanting to create and yet feeling like I just didn't have the energy to do anything.
