Writer's Block

I've been on a writing slump lately. The ideas are there, I'm just having a hard time getting them out and creating anything of substance out of them.

Natually, I'm frustrated. I hate it when the ideas won't come out the way I want them to. Espeically, since I've almost finished "Of Dreams and Miracles". I really need to catch up with my posts of that story...

I've written little bits of a few storis, but it's been a while since I got a full chapter finished. I mean, I'm not worried, because slumps like this come and go, but it does frustrate me because writing is my life. It's my passion.

Did finish a short story recently. Not to sure about it, though. It needs another serious editing, I do believe. I'm going to let it sit a little while and then take another good look at it and do whatever work needs to be done. That's generally what I do.

I think one of the reasons for the slump is my lack of time. In the past, I've always had plenty of time to spend at the computer, but these days time is a precious commodity. I never seem to have enough of it. I figure once I have some to breath and just sit down at my computer and pour my thoughts out, the muse'll come back to me. Or at least, that's what I hope.
