Stagnant Anyone?
October 15th 2006 01:16
Do you ever feel in your life, where ever you are at right now, half an hour ago or whenever, that you are stagnant? You know lacking creative energies, the will to get up and do something ANYTHING!
I feel that often, it usually has a lot to do with how I feel physically, you know tiredness or a little under the weather. It is amazing how your health can affect you, and crazily when I feel like this I usually go off and clean something…OCD anyone?
Now before I go on I'd like to offer a warning...well rather a reassurance, this is not a depressing post, nor is it a cry for help, but more an expression of interest - you know to get other expressions back. I guess it is a little like that whole "misery loves company" idea but I am not in misery – I just want company, those who have stagnated before me speak!.
I don't smell though - it's not that kind of stagnation I’m in...I am quite enthused about personal hygiene, my brain has simply left me, it's gone on holidays without me and I want it back NOW!
I am telling myself I can't force it though - is that true, can I force it? It seems like a good excuse. When writers have problems they do brain storming sessions, character development discussions all that sort of bizzo. Right now a brain storming session would involve paper and pen and perhaps finding someone to bounce ideas off...I don't even feel like finding those implements...any of them!
This state, this murkiness of the mind makes me indecisive. I know what needs to be done but I am just looking at it for now...seeing if a faster solution or an avoidable one will magically present itself...it hasn't.
Coffee and toast is one thing I can absolutely decide on - maybe this will be the conduit to action for me, one can only hope and for you, reading this right now, you will be hoping "PUHLEASE" get out of that state...
I really don't think it makes for riveting reading.
DO you have a bucket of water to splash over me?
Hopefully that is all I need...
....to end on a positive note and something that is a bit of a kick in the ass...in the nicest posible way, is one of Ramantic writers recent posts. She had a friend in a similar position and put everything in perspective for her. I recommend the read and I think it's a post i'd go back to.

slow down, find your natural self and don't see others as 'implements' may help...
