I Think I Have Some Answers

If you haven't read my last blog post, do so now, or the following blog post won't make sense.

I think the biggest thing standing in my way is an inability to express my creativity. I know that creativity is beneath the surface, but when I go to write now, I just write bland, uninspired, talk-action-talk-repeat scenes.

Unlike with some cases of writer's block, I know the cause of the problem, and can take steps to remedy it. I have a meeting tomorrow with someone who could help me, but for personal reasons, I can't go into details about it. I also have a good Fimfiction friend I could talk to, see if he hasn't gone through something similar in the past. I'll keep you updated as best I can.

I don't mean to be melodramatic. It's not like I have a personal crisis going on. I'm just disheartened at my limitations when I know I can do better. Let's see if I can drill down beneath the surface and tap into that creative energy I used to have.

You know, this isn't really that massive of a problem as you might think. And really, I think you are hurting yourself if you try and force creativity. Being burnt out is understandable. It happens. There's no need to feel like you are failing people or yourself. Being burnt out is a sign that you are forcing it.

Just write when you feel like it, man. That's all I have to say.

Don't worry about keeping things private. It's your life and you get to decide how much you're comfortable sharing. Here's hoping things can improve and folks can help.
