Damn This Rut!

I’m getting a tad wound up now as I am really struggling to get going with anything.  Each time I sit down to write of an evening I can feel my eyelids drop and the need for sleep takes over. At the route of it is fatigue.  I work long hours and its been far too long since I’ve had time off, although come June I’ve got a week off 😀 But I don’t want to wait till then to get firing again.  I need to write.  When I’m not working on something I feel like im a little lost because I have words that need to come out and they’re not being let out :-/ I’ve got a story that I’m going to finish the edit on tonight and I need to do a little research for the joint project that me and Owen are working on (no I havent finished it yet) so I’m going to get those done tonight and try to get some fiction written tomorrow.  If I struggle with that I’m thinking about writing a daily diary and see if that simple act can loosen up my mind a little.  This is probably the worst rut that I’ve fallen into and it is really beginning to frustrate me because most of my life is very good at the moment.  I am still having some very good ideas though so I am convinced this is just a rough patch.

I am a writer living in merry old England. I don't earn a living from writing so work in a supermarket, which I love! But my passion is writing. I'm a much happier human being when I'm being productive and nothing feels better than getting stories finished. This is a blog I write mainly for myself, but I appreciate each and every view, like, and comment my posts receive. Mostly what I will be posting is a sort of writing journal, detailing my progress. I don't hold back. If I've had a bad day, I'll say so. I'm not going to sugar coat what my journey is. I will share my highs and lows. I'm not just going to talk about writing, I'll occasionally talk about other things from movies to my personal life. There are things that I will not be talking about, we all have parts of us we wish to remain private. I'm no different. Trust me, I am not an expert in any field at all and will no doubt ramble a lot, but that's what you'll all come to love about me!

  1. Don’t despair. You will be writing on a roll very soon, you will see 🙂 Writing a daily diary is a very good idea. Just write whatever thing it comes to your mind: something funny, what you did at work, feelings, or even random words. I even filled a page of my diary once with swear words because I was feeling very angry!! Anything that can make your mind relax. When your mind is ready again to do serious writing, you will be able to write loads of words a day. At least it works for me 😀 Good luck and relax!!

  2. Plopped into a bit of a rut myself this week. Had an awesome weekend away, but it was exhausting and now I’m trying to get back in gear. By the time I get home from the day job, and get everything taken care of, my energy has fled. Bah! But it will start clicking again shortly. Hang in there.

    • I know I’ll get cracking again but it’s just frustrating grrrr although it’s nice knowing I’m not the only one. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and post a comment and I hope you get firing again soon too 🙂
