In a Mood ...

[texchan]

After some debate and consideration, I decided to turn this into a writing journal. Some things will cross post with LJ, but most of my thoughts regarding the writing process and story ideas ... stuff like that ... will only be here. I think it might be easier for me to keep track of them, if this is the case. Dunno how well this is going to work in practice, but I'm feeling my way along here, a little at a time.

Speaking of the writing process ...

Maybe I should say "lack" of process right now. Because things SUCK. I am in the worst mood. I don't feel creative at all. I feel funky, but not a cool kind of funky. The kind of funky you get when you're in a blue, down mood. I'm not sure why I'm in a bad mood, exactly. I was in a great mood just a couple of weeks ago, but the past two weeks have been bad. Not "slit-your-wrists" bad, but just ... frustrating. I have zero creative energy. Zero drive to do anything. Zero, zero, zero. I hate it when I get like this. There are things I need to do. Things I want to do and work on. And yet, I sit around like a big, fat lump and do nothing. Which leaves me feeling more frustrating and angry with myself at the end of the day. I hate it, even though I go through periods like this from time to time. Still -- hate it.

Tonight, I decided to sit down and start working on an original short story idea I had. It'll probably suck, but I don't even care about that at this point. I just want words on a page. If I get words on a page, I'll be happy. I think this is one of those situations where it's just time to push myself through this funk and get over it, already. So, here I go.

Wish me luck. -.-"

Oooh, I LOVE your color scheme!!!

And awesome, for the writing journal thing. I think that's a great idea! I'm still considering what to do with my own.
