M. Winning (I had to go there)

How many rejections does it take to get to the center of your inner Charlie?

One, Two, Three...  Crunch.  The world may never know.

At what point in this whole writing adventure that we have embarked on do we say, da winning? Will all of this subjectivity and positive negativity in the form of a form rejection response finally get to us?
For me I am thinking that I will be alright. So far there haven't been any insane rants or craziness to speak of and I have no thoughts of throwing in the towel, but is there anybody out there that is about to channel some Sheen?
Of course I hope that we can all go through this and get what we want out of it. So basically, stay away from the self mind cleansing rehab, keep writing, and best of luck to all. At least if you are experiencing a lull of inspiration, you can watch as Charlie careens down the black tunnel of future institutionalism.

M. The writing block blues

The hardest part of writing isn't the writing.  Originally, I would have trouble getting the story set and then setting aside the time of the day to write.  Nowadays that isn't the problem.  I have been fighting a duel in my mind with an evil little bug called a writer's block.

I don't know if that is what I would call it, but there is a little nudge in my head that makes me less than satisfied with everything that I write and that I have written.  I am not sure if it is from the countless rejections that I have grown accustom to receiving or if it is just my lack of inspiration.

I know that I have stories to tell, but they just don't look right when they splash out onto the pages.

Anyway, believe it or not, I feel better just for writing this and I don't want to sound like it is a huge problem, because it is starting to go away.  What I really want to know is, what do you do to prevent feeling this way and how do you get it to go away?  Are their some mental sit ups that my grey matter can do to get my writing back in shape.

M. Blogging

Blogging is so much more of a task then I originally thought it would be. At first, I figured it would be just logging on every day or so and talking about whatever was on my mind. Then I read that it was supposed to be about something. On top of that it has to be entertaining, educational, and well written.
I don't really have any issues with the process, it is just sometimes taxing. It has been about a week or more since I have written anything. It wasn't a lack of time; it was a lack of inspiration. I was just having blogging blah.
To be honest, I am having the same issue with writing in general right now. I can't seem to get the keys and fingers to flow like they were and I don't know why. I hope that this stops soon and I am hoping that part of my healing the issue is coming on here and saying it. So here it is, I want my inspiration back.

M. The Abyss

Today I don't know what I want to write about and that in itself is something that I can touch upon. I give daily newspaper reporters an immense amount of credit. Somehow they have to write, in an inspired fashion, day in and day out on subjects that they may or may not be interested in. How do they do that? I am having a hard enough time thinking of a subject for today and I have full rein over what I write.
The problem today isn't what I would call writers block it is more of a lack of inspiration. The words are still there and they are flowing from my fingers okay but something is missing. I think the key word is substance.
I am missing an inspired idea to write down and that is a scary concept to me. Have you ever had this happen? You just don't know what to write about.
