So blah blah blah

So blah blah blah, started writing poetry again, after a mental block of over three years. Might even get motivated for once in my life and try to get published (again).

Was reading back through some of my more introspective stuff from 2002 to 2004 - gods but depressing at points. Think I was at a very low ebb at some space in there, but it's the best I've ever done in ten years, then suddenly bang! nothing. Complete block, total lack of creativity, zippo.

Slowly coming back into it, some thoughts just flowing, some getting almost to paper and then vanishing again. Very frustrating, wish I could figure out what the insiration is some times, but it's like there one day and then gone again.

Ah well . . . . . . .

    No pain no gain. Apparently that runs true when it comes to creativity. I wrote all my good songs when I was depressed as hell.

        hmm, my muse seems to be introspective and dark, and my writing sombre to the point of depressive at times. Can't seem to write "inspiring" if I try. My dark side (imho egotisitcally speaking) is expressive, my positity bland.

        will check that out though - thanks!

          mebbe - most of it's introspective, my own thoughts for my own thoughts sake. Some of it's more "public" maybe that stuff I can share

          It's a common thing I think, to write brilliantly when depressed. I've written many songs over the years and, whilst some of my up stuff is (said to be) quite good, most people prefer my down stuff.

          I was once asked to pull a song from a community site because it was making too many people cry - I mean really cry. I used to have an ambition; to paint a picture or produce a movie that would generate genuine emotion (to the point of visible outward evidence - tears, laughter, gnashing of teeth, tearing up of cinema seats - that sort of thing), but although I'm good at making people laugh, it would seem that on a literary front, I'll be best remembered for making people cry (sigh).

            This is my two cents...
