I love to write, but I don't really know what to write about. My brain is a tangled web of ideas that don't really quite add up. Is creativity really that spontaneous and unorganized?
I've been reading a lot of books on writing, and most of them have some method or system in organizing thoughts to become an effective writer. After reading those methods I suddenly feel so restricted, that the mere thought of formulating a story freezes me up like a statue, leaving me with an empty mind and a blank screen.
Those books turned out to be really discouraging. I was overwhelmed with what they're saying. So I came to the conclusion that maybe I should just give writing a bit of a rest--if that's possible.
I'm sure there's a book out there that might actually help me get over these obstacles in writing. But for now, I might be done with it.
Where art thou, My life's love?
