I feel like I am mostly responding because I feel I should - you update so seldom and I am one of the first (it would appear) to read this one. I have nothing motivational to say, no words of wisdom or advice, no reassurances that it was all just a bad dream. The best I can say to you is do your best, take a deep breath, go out and jump into something, anything that you think you can (And I mean JUMP!) and try to bury yourself in it, let yourself gain some bearings on where you are.
You better update before labour day! Sweeneypie I love your posts, it helps a constipated writer like me to write again when I can see into the brains and sweat of others like you. You've always fit in by the way, how could you not?
Getting a job might not be so bad, you could possibly meet someone. ;) Hey I met mine while working at a gas station, you never know! I like that term constipated btw, it seems fitting to use for myself and my own writing, thanks! Mwah. x x x x x x
To motivate yourself, try and go back to the last place you got inspired. Sit and have conversations with people about ideas spinning around in your head. Sometimes the reason no writing gets done, is because the task of actually writing and getting into that mindset is too tedious at times. If tehre are other more personal or pressing issues keeping you from getting things done, like one of your friends has already said, take a deep breath, calm down, do something relaxing you enjoy doing...and then out of nowhere, like many of the greatest things in life, things will come to you. Good luck :)
Oddly, I actually find I can't plan things too well before I write or, conversely, go into it completely blank either. I also can't typically discuss my ideas in too much detail or else it feels like I've already told the story and it's gone. Writing's far too difficult a task to take on sometimes. And yet it's somehow one of the only things I can do and do well. The mindset is fun if I'm ready for it - to take on the total mindset - and (or) have something to say. Hopefully some of these suggestions help... or maybe just heading to the Fringe Festival will give me a fresh idea or two. We'll see - and thanks.
