you know, i used to be able to find inspiration everywhere: random conversations i would have with people, news stories...everything was grist for the mill, and it was working overtime!

but nowadays, i just haven't been inspired. i began part of a new piece earlier this morning that i'll post whenever it's done, but i just can't seem to focus on writing.

i think i need to read more fiction again. it's been a long time since i have, now.

[sigh]

how about you guys? i see that polar & mimi's muses have been whispering in their ears lately and i'm glad to see it.

    Ed,
    I haven't written any of my flash fiction for a while, but I've been blog promotion obsessed for my other blog this past week.  So, my creative juices have been flowing in a slightly different direction.  I've been a little lax in actual blog content though.

    I'm sure that what you do end up writing will be well worth waiting for.  :-)

    I want to write, but. . . meh.

    I'm always doing a fair amount of reading. Writing, not so much, unless blogging and message-board posting are writing, and I've been slacking on both counts lately. I always say I'm gonna do NaNoWriMo. Maybe this will be the year?

    I have something to say almost every day but no time to say it all. I have photos from two weeks ago to post and share but... Uh, oh. My student will be coming here soon and I have to finish dinner. Gotta go!

    mm&i: that's an excellent idea--i'll give that a shot! thanks!

    sis: ask & ye shall receive, as they say...

    quietone: well, as you might've noticed already, i kinda did. :D

    CW: well, i guess we'll see, won't we? :>

    polar: well, here's hoping! :D and yes, she is--but then again, takes one to know one, innit? :D

    eilan: see, blogging/forum posting is a kind of writing, absolutely. maybe the issue here is that you need to get inspired to be snarky? cuz that gives me an idea for a writing exercise... :D

    PT: too long since i last saw ya, PT, and it's good to see you again! misery loves company, as we know, but let's see if i can't think of something to help us break out of it?

    hotaka: isn't that always the way? :>

    I'm hearing every bit of that, ed. :-p I hate it! It's like there's so much I know I could write, but no words.

    Have you tried brain storming?  Write a word down on a piece of paper and then for two - three minuets write whatever words come to your mind.  It's a great way to generate ideas.

    infernal: i'm afraid i don't go in for graven images... :D

    whiterose: welcome to my blog and thanks for visiting! i've tried brainstorming but at best, all i ever seem to get is a light drizzle, i'm afraid.

    For me, yes! I visit SC between classes.
  • silverwhisper said on Jul 19, 2008....
    how do you manage to juggle everything, hotaka? fatherhood, classes, photography, the occasional mountain visit--you must be good at multi-tasking, i swear!

    You left out caring for the new house, writing, researching, reading, taking time for music enjoyment, walking and taking trains everywhere, shopping...

    Here's my secret: fill every gap in my schedule with something, even it is just putting my head down on the table for ten minutes.
