I've been running on empty for a while now and yesterday it really caught up with me. For many months my routine has consisted of going to bed after 2am and getting less than six hours sleep. I haven't been taking care of myself and it's showing. I need balance. This might mean creating a different writing schedule.
I've fallen in love with writing but if I fail to balance my life, I'll have little energy left to create or learn about the craft. I've noticed it's gotten harder and I think it's due more to a lack of rest than writer's block.
Had a nap this afternoon and still feel tired. Grrr.

I know what you mean. Just lately I've had no energy whatsoever to write. I'm missing the process no end, but sleep ends up taking priority at the moment. When I think back to how I wrote parts of Caught by the Tide at 3 in the morning...
Ha! Not quite sure what's changed, but something sure has.
I was just smiling at your music list. We have some favourite artists in common there. And not often that you see anything by Frou Frou listed on anyone's playlist. I wrote most of Solstice to 'Details'.
You'll get back to it hun, never fear. And it'll be all the better for the wait.
Hugs,
