I'm a writer by nature.  Love it and love seeing my end results.  There have been times in my life when all I have done is write, though much of my works are currently absent from me in storage.

I have even written several articles for Minti, and they have also been posted on a writing site called Helium.  i had fun writing these articles and was pleased with the end results, otherwise I wouldn't have hit the publish button.

My writing takes many forms. Articles,  short stories, essays, poetry, blogs, comments on blogs and I've even been dabbling in the realms of writing my own novel.  All forms are great, all forms beneficial to me and hopefully the reader and all forms come naturally to me.

I find inspiration for writing from my life and my imagination.  No end of inspiration in sight.  But inspiration isn't my problem at the moment.  As much as I try, I can't sit down and write for long.  There seems to be no motivation to actually commit to a task and see it through.

Helium has not seen an article from me in six months, minti probably longer.  My creative writings are very badly neglected too.  Yes, I'm still blogging and commenting and answering questions, and through MyLot, having discussions on life in general, but they are short pieces that just flow off my fingers and straight to the computer.

The real problem is when I sit down with pen and paper and try to structure some writing.  Oops, brick wall.  It is very unusual for me to go this long without writing something worthwhile publishing (my blogs aside) and it is starting to annoy me!  I love my writing.  I love using pen and paper, but at the moment, I end up drawing silly pictures instead of putting words down.

Even now, I'm running out of juice to keep going.  Sheesh, I'm so glad I don't rely on my writing for a living, I'd be broke by now.

I know that my writing groove will come back, and with a vengence but it is still frustrating me quite a bit.  Maybe someone could set me a writing task, I don't know.  Les is trying to get me to take on some of his writing work for which he gets paid, and I might have a look and see if I can do it, but I miss sitting for hours with my pens and paper and forming a word map.

Ok, it is far too late for me to concentrate now.  I've had my brain exercise for now.

Hope everyone has a great week.  Oh, and if you are in Perth, hope you missed out on that tornado.
