I'm Not Writing

Seriously... I'm not writing.

Nothing.

My blog posts have gone down hill.  My journal sits blank for days at a time.  And my "creative" writing journal?  Ha!!

I'm trying.  Really.  I'm making something that resembles an effort. I open up a fresh blog post and look at it.  I open my journal...and am lucky to get a line or two before I just feel blank.  Or my focus wanders off in another direction.

 I don't know what's wrong with me.  My writing just feels - off.

Now, to be fair to myself - I've been quite off since the time change took place.  Or maybe turning another year older that weekend hit me harder than I realize.  But I've been tired pretty early in the evenings, but still find it difficult to drag myself out of bed in the early mornings.

And I've been feeling a bit sick off and on since late last week.  Especially over this past weekend when I was fighting off a yucky cold.

But, c'mon.

And yes - I know it's normal to go through ups and downs when it comes to writing.  But this time it's not even a lack of inspiration or ideas.  I've got those.  Plenty of them! I just can't seem to make them go anywhere.

I just keep waiting for the flood gates to open and the words to come pouring out!

I Should Blog About This

I've been doing some deep thinking recently.  And some not-so-deep thinking also.  As I find myself buried inside my head I often think "I should write/blog about this"

Then the moment passes.

And it's gone.  The thoughts I was thinking.  Vanished.  Like so much smoke in the air.  Leaving me with the knowledge that at some point I had a great idea.  But now it's not even a memory.

Which is just so frustrating!

It happens with dreams also.  I wake from a dream, realizing I should write about whatever it was I was just dreaming.  Then I fall back asleep.  By morning whatever it was which was so brilliant, so witty, so meaningful - has withdrawn back into my subconscious.  Never to be recovered.

I would have way more posts written (and probably be far more entertaining) if I just remember all the great stuff I come up with when I am not anywhere around the computer!
