I've talked to a few people about this one on one but thought I'd start something about it here!
Has anyone run into the issue of happiness killing their writing muse?
I wrote all the time as a teenager. As I look back on it, I wrote about things that I couldn't do in my own life. I wrote stories I wanted to read. But I also wrote to escape my life, my emotions, and my problems. Every teen/kid does that right? Even adults do that!
The problem is... I am really happy now. My life is great, and anything that isn't great, I'm working on making it better. So as I'm trying to get back into writing I'm realizing I have nothing I want to write about. I just can't think of what to write, and anything that I do think of end up sounding fairly boring. I'm starting to think it might be because I am no long trying to escape reality.
What do others think? And more importantly - how can I get my writer's itch back without having to ruin my life!?
