I reconnected with some old, old friends recently, and a few of them formed a writing group that they've graciously let me join in. This has led me back into writing again. I actually really want to write stories like the ones I wrote and posted years ago, but my brain hasn't been the most cooperative lately. I want to write again, and I have no shortage of ideas, but I can't seem to get the words out. I feel a bit like I'm beating my head against the wall in the hopes that I can crush layers of stone with a bit of skull and brain matter. Needless to say, I haven't made much head way.

I'm not really sure if I can call this a block though, as I have started cooking regularly, and my creativity there is exploding. And I have been seriously wanting to get back into jewelry making, with hemp and with chain mailing. I feel less blocked than I do like my creative energies have been diverted into a different outlet. I just can't help feeling a little bit frustrated that I seem unable to do some of the things I want to.

I have this problem quite a bit; My focus will shift completely to a different creative process when I don't want it to, but it all turned out good in the end And any bit of progress on projects is good, even back pedaling because now you know where you don't want that story to go and so on. I wish you the best of luck!

I'm of the idea that the creative minded always show their wit, just not always through the same actions. Writing may be a pain for you atm (yet damned if I didn't enjoy that wall beating bit), but as you mention, cookin' is comin' easy (and tasty) and the world of jewelry wants you back in it. Suppose that if you focus on those full time, your writing bug will get jealous as all get out and leave inspiration marks over your body to make you go back to the paper.

As evidenced by that last sentence, I'm getting rusty on writing too But! I've been thinking of, what if I had a much more relaxed attitude to uploading things, and did a sort of "Upload Every Day" project, for the halibut, to be active. Maybe something like that could prove cathartic for us?

I have considered going back to a writing every day sort of project. To keep the writing going, even if nothing comes of those words. I'm a little afraid of what might come out of that, though. Such as poetry. I have no head for poetic rhyme, and I couldn't bear to inflict the world with that!

I doubt that I would upload every day, but to write every day might instill the discipline to actually get more into writing as I desire. Or I will get frustrated, and light my computer on fire. Not sure which is the most likely!
