I want to post journal entries. I am just not compelled to do so. I enjoy reading the works of several people, and I'd love for people to enjoy my works the same way. I enjoy writing -- I just don't do it, right now, aside from a little bit here, a little bit there. Same with drawing, really

i think its ok if you don't want to write.
are you just feeling pressure from what you think others expect out of you or are you frustrated with yourself because you've lost the desire?

I'
m more frustrated with myself, really. I don't feel ... obligated to post, I just want to and am not sure where to go with it.

[amaliadubois]

there are probably writing exercises you could try.

Often when I feel like that it's because nothing has been happening in my life that I feel is worth writing about.

If that's the case for you, how about sharing some stories from your past? If you'd like a prompt, I can give you one.

yeah, that might be an interesting tihng to do. Let's try :) caveat, though: I don't know when I'll manage to post it, but it'll be up as soon as I can get it.

Maybe you could run with that feeling- draw or write from the perspective of being outside your own body. I'm not an artist or near the level of writer you are, so this may be a completely idiotic suggestion... but I'm thinking, work with what you've got.

[anamacha]

from the perspective of being outside my own body? of being me, yet not-me at the same time? Can you clarify at all?

[wardellen]

You said you feel "disconnected"- so disconnect. Very much like you're outside your own body. Watching yourself write/draw.

hmmm. Interesting thought. Not sure how that would work out .. but it'd be interesting to find out. Thanks!
