I have hit a wall. I have no creative energy left in my body, the last few months I’ve been doing ok but I find that when things start to unravel in my personal life my creativity plummets. Writing anything has been a struggle, I had got the fist little bit of a new project on the go and I was so excited and now I can’t bear to look at it.
I couldn’t even think of a proper title for this post, I just kept thinking I can’t leave it with no name and that was as far as the thought process went.
I suppose it does fit in with the suggested question for this month, have I slipped personal information into my characters? Yes and not always just mine, I often use aspects of friends and acquaintances in my characters, but I would never tell them, they would have to guess.

Don’t forget it’s okay to take a break if you need to. You don’t see many people playing baseball 365 days a year, even if they love it. Rest is good for you.

Thank you for that, I actually hadn’t thought about it in those terms, makes me feel a bit better about taking a break 🙂

I’m sorry that you are having such a hard time. Maybe it is best if you took a break from everything. Internet wise!? We will all still be here for you when you come back.

Yeah I think maybe I do need a bit of a break, get away for a few days and get back to myself 🙂

It happens to all of us, Anon. It’s called exhaustion. Give it time. Your creative energies will come back to you.
