Writer’s Block

I really don’t believe in “writer’s block.” I don’t usually go for months at a time without writing anything at all. I don’t think I would be a very good writer if I didn’t at least practice writing when my “real” projects aren’t going very well for me. There are always blog posts to write, if nothing else, which is exactly what I’m doing now.

After months of flying by the seat of my pants and writing anything and everything I could think of (including several for themed anthologies, in genres I normally don’t write in) I am stuck. I don’t attribute being stuck to a lack of ideas or creativity, however. I have plenty of ideas. It’s my circumstances that have changed.

I recently moved back to Pittsburgh to attend grad school for Secondary Education (woot!). I’ve only been here a little over a week, but already my schedule is all off and my body feels all out of whack. While I’m readjusting, my writing has been suffering. I even have so many things started that I just can’t seem to find the time or energy to finish. I hope things start picking up soon!

In other news, I’d really appreciate an acceptance letter for a short story sometime soon. ;-)
