Writing. Why can't I do it?

So it's been about a week or three, and I've written NOTHING.

I've done one, ONE Evening Storm Travels update on my tumblr, but that's it.

I just can't bring myself to sit here and WRITE. >_<

I think the problem is simply, I'm not feeling the desire to write what I can write for the stories I have right now.

I think I want to write something really self indulgent and stupid.

In my down time I decided to check out one of Chatoyance's stories, being I've heard a LOT of good things. So I sat down and read 800 Year Old Promise.

Despite a few issues. (If humans don't have the soul's Celestia knows, then what DO they have? You can't go around creating music, art and have dreams without a soul. It doesn't work like that. Least not to me. I know it's a story, but it still bugs me...)

Well I can see why people like it. I rather enjoyed what I read. It was a fun story, and I can see how her world works.

...I can say with absolute CERTAINTY that it isn't the Conversion Bureau world -I- write in, but I see the appeal.

Part of me wants to write something for it. Problem is... It'd be the self indulgent/stupid idea. It'd be fun FOR ME. It might get rid of this stupid block I'm feeling.

But I really REALLY doubt anyone would want to read it. I'd be challenging some rules of the world HARDCORE.

Still I have to figure something out to get the juices flowing again.

Hopefully I'll work something out and get things going. I really DO want to finish My December. Especially before a certain thing happens with someone else's story.

I also know the basic plot for 'Walking Man's road' So I want to do that one soon after.

Anyway I'm really REALLY sorry I have nothing for you guys. Those who like my stories enough to track me, and read my blogs. I hope I can get back into the swing of things soon.

Well, don't be sorry friend. Writer's block afflicts us all from time to time. we'll still be here when you get the writer's juices flowing again

Sometimes people just have creative blocks.
They can be caused by a lot of different things; physical exhaustion, mental fatigue, conflicted desires - like wanting to go outside and also wanting to write, and not being able to choose one - or even just being bored or burned out.

There are many ways to cure a creative block. You can wait it out, you can go eat up media - you've already kind of done that. Read stuff, watch stuff, play games, whatever is input, whatever adds to your store of ideas and notions - or you can also just Do Something New. Could be anything, from trying out some new hobby to watching a new series on video.

That said, if you want to write a CB story using any of my silly stuff, please do. It's there to be used by anyone who wants to.
