On Writing December 8, 2009

I’m tired of writing. My brain hurts. I don’t want to put any more words on paper. I don’t even enjoy the physical act of writing like I usually do. The funny thing is I go through this process every semester. I start out the semester, full of fire and creativity. I’m ready to pour out genius onto paper. The last two semesters have been busy ones outside of school so writing has been a chance for release. A way to pour my stress onto paper and do something useful with it.

The problem comes when I get towards the end of the semester. I’ve been writing papers and stories and poems and one liners for months and the words have started to get forced. My creativity is growing really thin. The only thing I can seem to do is journal. If I am writing about things that are happening in my life, I can write. But if I have to make something up, or even regurgitate information I can’t seem to do it.

One of these days maybe I’ll figure out how to pace my writing so I enjoy it for extended periods of time. Maybe it will be better when I’m not required to write things that I don’t want to write.  I don’t know. Either way, right now, I’m tired of writing. I want to go take some pictures.
