I am IN LOVE with this thread!!!!~ heart
I am so so so happy that this exists. Thank you.
I am a writer myself. My medium of literature that I dabble with are usually poetry, I consider myself a poet, but I also like to write short stories, stories (full length novel) but poetry is what I like do mostly though.
I just subscribed to this thread, I am new to this forum, this thread. And I must say, you are a life saver, motivator, optimist, motivational speaker (but I am reading this, you are not really speaking in an auditorium, but thats how I read this as), very uplifting, resourceful, well written, well researched, I wish this was a book or that I would print this out and staple it into a book or something. Just wow. Again, thank you for writers everywhere, that this topic is being discussed.
I feel like depression and sadness, stress, being overworked at job (unfortately, writers still need a part time or full time job in order to provide for our writing dream and career, unless we are being paid a well amount as a writer, then thats something else, but we still need to buy our supplies: notebooks, printer ink, scanner, laptop, printer, keyboard, pencils, kindle, tablet, paper, notepads, stinky notes, white out, highlighter, pens, mechanical pencils, and etc... but over worked at the job destroys or ruin the battery, so we just want to sleep instead of writing or creating. This destroys our soul, because maybe because of being too tired at a job, disables us from thinking of ideas for what we are writing either for our novel, our story, or our poetry. Our brain will be empty.) Good sleep or not sleeping sometimes depending on which either helps or doesn't help. Whether we are having a good sleep and we get ideas from our dream at night, or we wake up to write something because we rested and had a good sleep, or we are not sleeping because we are staying up all night writing 10 pages. But depression, stress, and sadness could add on to writers block, I feel like it goes hand-in-hand with each other. Maybe being depressed, we are not eating, not talking, withdrawn, so maybe instead we are writing as a form of a communication, when we are not communicating. Or maybe its the opposite. Maybe being depressed, is stopping the writer from writing because they are thinking of their depressed, or even suicidal thoughts, instead of thinking on what to write next. Sometimes depression helps with writing, and sometimes it kills. Maybe we are depressed because we are worried about never writing again, never thinking of the next topic to write, being depressed that you will never get out of depression, never recover or find peace, never write again, be in writer's block forever, losing your gift, losing your talent or craft. Sometimes writers block is permanent residential state of being in the mind, and sometimes its only temporary. That fear of never thinking of anything new, of new material, new topics, new projects, influence, inspiration, ideas and thoughts is a constant fear, for writers, musicians, artists, singers, comic book or graphic novelists, authors. What happens you cant think of more songs, more books, more song lyrics, or more poems. What happens if your mind will be empty of thoughts, just blank as a page. This is wasteland, the No Man's Land that we fear. at least for me anyway.
