Where has it gone?

[vctorianromantc]

I miss when I was younger, and when I had a story in mind, I would write whenever I felt like it.
All I had to do was listen to some inspiring music, and I was there.
Now I'm just...dry.  I can't get myself to do it.

What happened to me?

It took me a bit to get back in to writing. What helped me was an idea and a deadline (the inspiring music came during the process).

Sometimes, just being in the creative energy of others helps, as it influences yours. I wonder if the acting classes you're taking will help this?

But sometimes I need a little revving up. Usually I write tanka or haiku, just to get my writing brain back into gear.

What's helped the most has been keeping a little journal, which I write in whenever inspiration strikes me. It's just snippets, or beautiful lines, or lists of descriptions of things happening around me.

If you want, we can accomplish all of these things! We could totally meet at someplace with outdoor seating, with notebooks, and just write and write and share what we write. It doesn't have to be good; it just has to be written.
