I realized something a while ago, just haven’t been able to put the words to it. But I techincally lost my writing skills in a way. I used to be haunted by story ideas all day long, even when I slept. But now that I burned myself out with doing the MFA (Masters of Fine Arts), I barley been able to write anything, and I have a strong sense of passion for writing, just that its missing now.
I am still able to write, for a short period, but then the ideas stop flowing and I unable to continue. It takes me a while to write a single poem, or even a paragraph of fiction. I have a huge writer’s block that isn’t even my fault, they expected me to be able to write 100 pages of fiction in 8 weeks. As well as read 20 books and write about those books. I was able to do it for my first semster in the MFA but the second semester I just couldn’t write anymore. At one point I just couldn’t read anymore either, I just got back into reading and I don’t read the same type of books I did before, its like my mind became a new person with new interests. I read romances now, well anything that has romance in it, not just plain mystery or anything like that. I used to only read mystery now anything I read has hints of romance or full blown romance.
I used to write fantasy fiction or dark theme stories. I am wondering know if I will be able to write again if I pick a new theme to write about, I just never wrote a romance before so I guess I am going to give it a shot and see how it goes, if not I will just try and power through this writer’s block and get back to what I used to write.
Oh I recently picked up a new hobby, mini painting. I am having fun with it, though I am trying to sell them for petty cash, I got bills to pay and not a high paying job, college loans will need to be paid for soon. lmao
