In Which I Attempt To Give A Poor Excuse For Not Writing
...I can't write. I have no time. I have nothing to write about.
Already I can hear some of you telling me none of these are true. And yes, time has to be made, and there are many things to write about, and if I'm honest with myself, I don't write so badly as to give up writing completely. However I have been finding it rather difficult to write recently, especially with work. One big problem is that I have a deadline, the end of June, to write enough words to fill a small book. Any words. I was going to mix and match non-fiction as well as fiction, but I am very rusty on the fiction. My childish aspirations of becoming a writer fade away more and more with the passing of time. I also tend to have random moments of intense creativity, in the sense that I suddenly want to make 101 things all at once. (So none get finished.) I then have moments where I just want to sleep and do nothing at all, and I have long discussions with myself about why I am useless at art and writing, and feel sorry for myself. Until I get bored at work and make an army of origami bunnies. (Artistically bipolar?)
Alright, I admit it, this is a poor excuse for a blog post. I do have better plans for future updates, but I really needed to write something.. And ask for suggestions. Hopefully I will get a few responses..
Here is my question: What do you like to read about? In both fiction and non-fiction, what interests you? Is there anything you think I should write about in a short fiction story?
To make up for this post, here is a recent sketch I drew. It is Loki, from Avengers. At some point I shall finish it.. I do have plans to be more organised..
