Creativity on Hold

[setsuna16]

So, yesterday was officially month FOUR without me having a creative outlet for my prose. I've probably had a dry spell as long as that, if not longer, in the past, and while I'm not quite yet going batshit crazy (I'm annoyed, but overall I'm okay), I would still VERY MUCH like an outlet again

I am sorry to hear that you are going through a writing block period. I know how that goes and I wish I could converse with you about your fandoms but I tend to write General Hospital and not much else. I have participated in Nanowrimo for the past three years and it has been a positive exercise for me to produce that much prose in one short month. Yet, I never found it to be that much of a social endeavor, it was much more about my internal motivations. During that month it's all about the word count and socialization distracts from that and there's nothing worse than some smug 'friend' who is thousands of words ahead of you or those freaks of nature who do double the word count in one month. Anyway, I just wanted to say that if you ever want to discuss it feel free to friend me and good luck with rediscovering that spark which will once again reignite your passion for writing.

It's not really what I would consider a writer's 'block' period, it's more of a lack of access to a creative outlet.

What I do is community based writing, where writers make characters and interact with them etc, so if I don't have a community to join, I don't have an outlet, and while I have been actively looking for one, I haven't found anything that was particularly appealing to me.

I think I would be one of those freaks of nature who would do double the amounts in that span of time, but, again, that's really not for me.

Thank you for the offer.
