So annoying

[kryptonitemonkey]

Don't you just hate those moments when you feel the need to be creative, but you can't actually think of anything to put down? I'm sitting here, good music playing and getting ready for bed (usually when I'm at my most loquacious), and I can't think of a single topic on which to expound. Phooey. Haha, I like that my spellcheck knew the proper spelling for phooey.

Ah, just thought of a thing. But perhaps it something to be spoken of later, in more depth.

Similarly--I think, maybe--I'm always afraid I'll run out of ideas.

I've heard it said that really the best thing to do is just keep plugging away. Sometimes the best things come from boredom and lack of proper ideas. I've definitely run out of ideas before, but sooner or later something bubbles up. It definitely helps to have someone else to bounce ideas off of. I'm always tempted to try some of those writing prompts people put out there too.

True, sometimes that helps--though I often feel like what I'm doing in that part is reflected back, and I end up editing it later. Which is fine. But there's nothing quite like that feel of inspiration, the sudden spark where you know exactly what you're going to do, and no matter how fast you type (120 wpm last time I tested), your fingers can't keep up with your brain. :)
