Forgive me readers for I have sinned.

It has been way too long since I last wrote anything here. To be honest, it feels like something broke inside me back in May. I've been in a bit of a downward spiral ever since. I was sure I had hit rock bottom back in August, but nothing is working out for me lately. I have a hard time focusing on something for more than 5 minutes, unless I can shut my brain down. It feels like my whole brain is paralyzed by writer's block. In fact, not to sound too emo-ish, but I am at a point in my life where pretty much everything I try to do is stopped by white page anxiety. Even when I logged on today, after closing the page every morning in utter disgust at my inability to write for the past 6 months, I figured I'd try to throw out some writing. I'm sure some of you still want to see what happened to that detective guy. I hate that I have this character inside of me and I can't let him out. Rest assured, this blog is not forgotten, it's just impossible for me to create right now. I'll try however to get the juices flowing simply by writing out my anguish. Maybe I'll get better at it by trying, if not well, at least my 2 or 3 readers will know I'm still sorta trying.

    I think you should try FORCING yourself to do it, even if they're absolutely horrible, maybe it'll get you over your writers block. And if that doesn't work, well, I hear they make really nice paper-weights.

    I actually feel the opposite of Zephyr, I think you should just let it come to you as it comes to you. I know it doesn't work for everybody, but I know that when I'm in a slump (and I have been for almost as long as you have now) I just jot down the ideas I get, and let the story catch my interest later on. I'm finally breaking out of mine, and I can't think of a single reason why.

    On the detective note, I haven't gotten to that story yet, but I write detective stories sometimes. Want to collab on one sometime when you're not under writer's block?
