Right or Wrong
I’ve
joked in this blog in the past about writer’s block, but now I well and truly
have it. After writing ten novels in
just over a year, with little in the way of a break, I find that for now I have
no desire to muster the amount of empathy that would be required to tell
someone else’s story. I have reached
this conclusion via several sources, a culmination of events that I don’t wish
to share. Needless to say, I am
suffering the usual self-doubts. I don’t
possess an ounce of self-esteem so that’s nothing out of the ordinary. For a period of time I enjoyed losing myself
on the page and creating other worlds, venturing into places and relationships
that I can only imagine in the depths of my mind. Perhaps someday I will again, but I am not in
the right mindset to create, craft, or enjoy the creative process. I also understand that a lot of writing is
finding your inspiration and pushing through adversity—but sometimes, I just
can’t.
