Lost my muse

[Guest]

So here recently I just.... can't write anymore. I can't come up with anything to write, let alone get inspired to do so. So, in that respect, don't expect me to post in any of the IC or OOC forums for a while, until it comes back (hopefully). I'll still be active in IRC and the occasional game, but I can't come up with anything creative.

It happens to the best of us. Good luck finding your muse, though I hope you are searching for a metaphorical muse and not an actual naked lady playing a musical instrument. If you are looking for THAT sort of muse, I have no sympathy for you!

In my experience it has been that I go through cycles of great thoughts for stories and characters and then a drought. It happens. I sometimes find just ripping the stitches works sometimes. I would just write anything even stuff I know is crappy to try and get it out of my system. If that didn't work I would find a TV series that I liked and binged on that or watched a bunch of movies for inspiration. Those are the only two things that work for me. Then again you aren't me so it might work and it might not. Just figured I would try to help you out.

Try poetry. Switching gears like that might be fun.
You could try the sonnet game, for example, where you just have to fill in all the words except for the rhymes, so that it makes sense. Something like that might get the juices flowing in a non-pressure-y way. ^^

I'm sorry you're going through this, Elric. I do this periodically, too. It's called feeling burned out. Don't worry. It'll come back eventually. You just have to let it run its course.
