In response to "Ugh this year"

I think this year has messed everyone up with Covid. Everyone in my house got it, some were asymptomatic, some of us got hit bad. I've had lingering effects now that just makes it so hard to write. Now where I live, we went into complete lockdown last week, the first province in Manitoba to do it for this second wave, and it just so rejecting, but you got to do what you got to do. Keep on trying to write, it will come back to you, you were always an amazing writer.

In response to "Ugh this year"

Yeah, this year has been pretty much a wreck. I have ideas, but no energy or motivation to write beyond blogging. But that's not related to the pandemic for me. University completely sapped my creativity. Too much times spent studying, writing papers, working with spreadsheets, etc.

I thought I'd be able to get my creative writing flow back being at work this year, but then the pandemic happened and even though I'm working from home, I feel totally suffocated after months of just sitting inside. Definitely cabin fever vibes that aren't conducive for motivation.

It does sound like Matt, and likely you too, could've had covid at the beginning of the year. It has pretty much been established that it was widespread by that time, but testing wasn't really a thing then.

I hope you'll find some way to write. I know it sucks to have ideas and not be able to get them out.

- Awesome! I was figuring it was more using your fears in plot related things, so yay!

- I've always loved mythology too! It's been fun to use them in a fun way. I can't wait to get to where I can actually begin writing and implement them! I'm hoping it comes out as good as I have in my head.

Ooh, I love mythology. A fantasy story with mythological undertones sounds super fun to work on.

You are not off at all. In fact, I think your answer rocks. The prompt was asking about fears in relation to writing.

Okay. Any help I can get I'll be appreciative of. Even if all I get is just knowing I have the "voice" right in my story.

It's more focussed on SFI, but I joined also because of the Fantasy genre.

No I'm not! Thank you! I figured we had to have a Fantasy group on here somewhere.

In response to "Out like a Light"

These days in my house, the power goes out, after everything electrical ran out of juice, I'd have 4 kids complaining, extremely large data bills. In my old apartment our power would randomly go off all day, usually when it was hot as hell and there was nothing we could do but wait it out. We knew it would happen to, it was a given something would happen to the transformer on the block least a couple of times in the summer. Was Never prepared, one flashlight, maybe a couple of candles. Now we got flashlights, candles, tons of batteries, always cases of drinks and water kicking around, in a big house, never a power problem. Had a huge ice storm last fall, took down trees, power lines, all around us people lost power, not my block lol. Karma is kind of funny these days...

WIP

I still haven't really had a chance to be all that creative, but I'm working on it. It's been a struggle, but like I said I'm working on it. Trying to work on my stressers and things that trigger my anxiety and try to focus on myself. Which usually means forcing myself to make sure I do the things I want to do, rather than sitting around because my head is full of a fog because I've just let things get to me.

It's definitely been a tough year. I'm trying to make it so this next one isn't as tough. I want to get back into doing things that I want to do, letting myself focus on those things. I haven't really read anything. It's like I just can't focus on anything when I read and lose interest. It's been the same with a lot of things I've normally enjoyed, like video games and any real creative endeavors.

I'm starting to re-read my book of Lovecraft, to try and get some inspiration for my "13 Curves"

story. Something I was working on prior to my creativity shutting off. I'm hoping it will give me some inspiration for the "monster" and "evil/scary/horror" part of my WIP that I was stuck on before. I originally, when starting the story, wanted it to be an allegory, not necessarily an actual thing, but then I realized I can have both. So, I'm working on it. Matt and I were talking about Lovecraftian things and it was giving me some ideas or at least some vague ones that reading some of his stories might lead to some more in depth ideas.

So we will see.

For the rest of you, I'm hoping your creativity is flowing.

Me, like "13 Curves"

, is definitely a work in progress.
