Right? I wanna stab me!Boss for this bullshit, but I'd be stabbing ME if I did that, and that is the opposite of productive. Plus, I got I think maybe ONE of my knives right now.
As it stands, I'm forcing myself to take a break. Don't look at writing, don't think about writing, just Do Not Force It until I figure something out. In between, I'm considering taking up different hobbies to keep my mind off of the inability to get any inkslinging done. If I can put my brain on something else, maybe it'll come back one day.
The scary thing is this tops itself off with me as a crisis of identity. I've been writing since seventh grade. At one point it impressed the principal so much that she gave me an engraved Cross pen (those aren't cheap!) in recognition of my writing. It's been a part of me for so long that I don't even know who I am without writing.
…I do realize the irony of typing basically a novel in response to this.
