I have writer’s malaise. I am just too apathetic to actually have writer’s block. I think about blogging and I think, “Bleh. What more do I have to say?” I think about articles and say, “Eh. I can’t think of a single interesting topic.” I try to write fiction and as far as I can tell it just basically sucks.
I can’t even motivate a good Facebook status update these days. I am just commenting on other people’s.
I have been here before, and I know it is followed by good stuff. For right now, however, I am just not in the mood. I am not writing, and I am not reading blogs much either. Please don’t take it personally and certainly don’t worry, because I am fine.
I think it comes of not having enough experiences out of my damned house. I can only write about my family so much, and I don’t get out enough to have more to write about. So, while I am not writing, I’ll be trying to live a little.
I’ll be around when I have something to say.

I understand the feeling. Sometimes I think I’ve already said it all before. And I probably have.
Anyway, I’ll be here whenever you feel like writing again.

I know. Me too. I seem to go in bursts lately. Right now, I’m not bursting. I’ve wondered this before…has blogging just run it’s course for me? I don’t know.

I have writer’s malaise, too. (Which is the most fabulous name I’ve ever heard attributed to “it”)
I’m taking some fun photos, though.
Looking forward to hearing you when you return.

Thanks for putting into words how I feel right now. By the comments it’s clear that we’re not alone! Here’s hoping for some inspiration for all!

I think writing is something organic that can’t be controlled. We write when we are compelled to, and never at a time of our choosing. What usually helps for me is to take a break not only from writing but even thinking about writing. Go out. See a movie. Play a video game or do something else that occupies your mind but is also a bit mindless and just don’t worry about it for a few days. It will help “recharge” the writing gene.
