Have All The Songs Been Written?

Have All The Songs Been Written? Hiya Blogland! Long time, no see! Joey and I are finally living and working on the road again after taking a few months off due to some family obligations. It was a relief to come back out here where we belong! I truly missed the freedom of the road during that time. I am hoping that this post will be the first of many to come, but I cannot guarantee that the evil bitch called writer's block won't mess with my head again. It's an awful feeling to be shut down creatively. I've been thinking about my blocked thoughts and I decided to write this post. I guess you could say that writer's block has inspired me to write again. Isn't that ironic? Or is the phrase, "inspired by writer's block" an oxymoron? Hmm... Up until today, I have not been inspired to write a lot these past few weeks and I don't know why. Was it caused by stress? Anxiety? Life? Or have I lost my creative mojo? I do know that I have been struggling to write something worthwhile for months now! Don't get me wrong, I have posted a few snippets and tales here and there, but they haven't exactly been my best works of naughty storytelling. And don't even get me started on the stories I wrote that ended up being absolute stinkers that truly needed to go out with last week's garbage. I always tried to fix them during the editing process. I would put hours into writing and rewriting only to realize that my story was actually worse than it was before! Wasting so much time and effort on a story that ended up being tucked away into file number thirteen is incredibly disheartening and utterly frustrating to me as a writer. My failure to compose a compelling story that would flow like a sheet in the wind was seriously stressing me out. My writing suffered and I felt the passion I once had for sharing my creativity with others diminishing. I did the only thing I could do, I stepped away from writing. More or less, I quit. And I hated myself for giving up on my passion for sharing my creativity with others. Then again, I did not have much creativy left to share anyway. No big loss, right? Wrong! While taking a break from the stress caused by my fizzled out creativity , I realized that I do have an awesome group of people that regularly read and/or follow my blog. I realized that I shouldn't necessarily be writing for myself. I should be writing for you, my readers, followers, and fans. Without any of you, I would have nobody to share my creativity with. And that was the breakthrough I needed to bring a portion of the inspiration I had lost so many months ago back to me. New ideas are starting to flow through my mind again and plans for a couple of stories are actually falling into place. My thoughts are not quite as jumbled up or random as they were. Obviously, the stories I am working on are going to to be a work in progress for a little while longer. I wish I could write something worthwhile in an hour or two, but I just can't do it. Here's a fun fact about my writing style: I have literally worked on getting the right flow of words in a single sentence for over an hour before. Believe it or not, something as simple as the correct flow or usage of words can make or break a story for me. Yes, I really am that anal retentive about my writing. *giggle* I said anal! Teehee! *snort* While I do realize that I cannot create a masterpiece on every attempt I make to spin a tale, I still don't want my work to be a failure in my own eyes, or even worse, yours! Hopefully this post will be the stone that causes an avalanche of ideas for more creative musings to share with y'all in the very near future! Until next time, my sexy friends! ♡Jess ☆☆☆☆☆ |

I can't reach the top shelf either!  Good to see you back and just write when you feel the time is right. Just be warned that, for some reason, posts have missing words (or part missing). This has been going on for a while now. I've had to edit a lot of my posts.

I can't write at all, but I love reading you! Take good care and have fun with it!

I would put hours into writing and rewriting only to realize that my story was actually worse than it was before! I get that. The more I mess with the initial creative flow, the more messed up it gets. I tend to write intuitively, and need to do it in one sitting, lest the inspiration is lost forever. Thoughts from the Garden...
