My creative drive is completely gone... · 11:20pm Nov 30th, 2017
I don't know if it's been just a rough patch or whatnot, but my need to draw, write, or anything smut related is completely gone. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm getting older. Maybe it's because life is in the way? Maybe because I'm finally tired of my own fetish or how it'll never get out of its niche status. I don't know...
Nothing in life is ever permanent. And that includes dry spells. Just because you can't think of anything now, doesn't mean you'll never feel a spark of inspiration again. My advice is to just be patient, and don't try to rush art.

Yeah. I've mostly just been job searching and training for a new position in life. Once I get settled in, I'll try again.

That's a good idea. Life should come before anything else.
I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Hitting a drought of creativity is the worst, and I've certainly experienced it on more than one occasion. Like, I may have an idea in my head that seems decent enough, but I find it difficult to actually put down into words.
Now, I'm a relatively new user here, at least compared to how long you and other writers have been on this site, so this may not mean much coming from me. That being said, I really hope that this creativity block you're experiencing passes by, and that you don't feel this way for too long.
As TheVClaw expertly put it earlier, nothing in life is permanent, including this creative drought. Write when you feel like writing again, and don't feel obligated to put something out when you don't want to. Patience is key. I hope everything goes well for you in your future endeavors, and that you feel better soon.

It's less of a creative block and more of a contemplation issue. I'm running low on self-esteem, as I start to lose friends and take more abuse. I hate that my perception of the world is based on how much people like me, instead of focusing on my own feelings and my own soul.

Whatever you decide to do, I hope it makes you feel better soon, and that you arise from these difficulties that you have been facing with. I'm sorry that you've been dealing with these contemplative issues, and hope you find a way to work them out.
