I lost my ability/will to write for almo...Ah, that. I lost my ability/will to write for almost two years straight. I'm only just starting to come of it, but not quite. <br /><br />One day I opened my journal to empty my head of thoughts - a daily ritual - and suddenly my mind went blank. Nothing would come out, even though when I'm *not* attempting to write my head's buzzing with ideas, observations and events.<br /><br />I stopped writing, waiting it out. Two years passed, and during that time I'd occasionally flip open my journal and ache to be able to write again. I'd attempt little entries, but they would be so forced that I'd often end them prematurely in disgust. <br /><br />So instead, I sketched. My entries turned into quick doodles of scenes from my week or ideas I had. They weren't as frequent as my old entries, but they were something; they let some of the pressure in head out. <br /><br />Maybe you should try a different form of self-expression and share them on your blog. Maybe you could ignore the sudden mental reticence and just jot down what happened during your day until the energy to write a 'proper' post comes back. Whatever you end up doing, though, don't stop updating the blog :) It's one of my favorite nooks on the Web, and I look forward to your posts, even the ones that you seem to not like – the ones detailing your activities.<br /><br />It'll pass, don't worry too much about it.
