Temporary Setbacks

A mutual song writer/poet just brought up an interesting thought that is extremely resonating. The fact that he wrote very few songs last year compared to previous years. This year, I only wrote one or two, whereas, the year before, the words poured out. My heart just wasn't in it. Hoping this next year is better in many ways, and I can write spiritually again.

Many of my contacts on this site think I am a prolific writer. I am not. I post stuff written years ago and occasionally come up with a new poem. I too go through really dry spells where the words won't flow. What I have learned is that you can't force the situation. You need to be patient. Those thoughts and words will come when they are ready and not before. I think it is quite common for writers to experience this. You and your friend are in good company.

Thank you, Chris. I'm sure you can understand my frustration. What's funny is that I didn't really notice/think about it until he brought it up. I have just been so busy with life, it didn't even dawn on me.
