Empty Nest Syndrome

[Carnal_Flower]

This is the first time I have had nothing at all in the works for 6 months. I was going to take a complete break from writing for a while. Thought I would enjoy it. Ha! I have never felt such an ass-kicking depression and sense of blah. I'm not the type to get depressed, either so it's very noticeable. I could think about new ideas, but then I think I'd just be starting a new cycle so what's the point! It's freaking me out a bit. Writing is intense and requires a lot from me. It doesn't come easy. So now all that labor is just stopped and in its place is a new blah I've never felt before.

Anybody relate to this?

No, mostly cuz I always have something going on to fill my time when I take breaks from other activities. Hell, I even do theoretical writing research when I'm not actually applying ink to paper.

You're denying the muse and its not happy.

My creative writing teacher said that when you have stories in you they will eat you alive until you release them.

In other words once you get on the train you can't just get off. Yuck.

Not until you reach the station or the train wreck, whichever comes first.

I've hit the train wreck....then patched the train together and headed to the next station....and it shows in the stories it happened to

I have more wrecks than successful completion of the journey.

I blame Network Rail. Their engineering works don't make train journeys better.

I can understand, but I'm afraid I can't relate. I find it harder to keep the nest empty. They know they're always welcome, and so they come. I wouldn't want them not to, but it does interrupt other things I want to work on. I average about one weekend free every two months.

But the trains keeps speeding along in all directions at once anyway; stories and essays and research projects keep working themselves out in my mind, but there's not enough time to get them all down and still feed the cat.

Here's my thought,

(The mind is the most erotic organ we have, that's why I play with it every day

I write for fun, when it's not fun i find something else, I read a few story's, chat with friends who enjoy my over sex mind and wild imagination. Then return with a little more drive, my mood directs the emotions of my story line.
Wow I guess I am crazy, just like they've been telling me for years.....
