@Steve: I’m tryin. And it’s not like I haven’t gone on writing hiatus before…these things always come in cycles for me.

@Ken: Thanks Ken. That makes my day!

As for eNotes…thanks for the link…I think? Didn’t mean to depress you. I mean, really, I didn’t mean to depress anybody. We can’t always be upbeat, though around here I think I generally am. And insanely depressing? Wow. Whatever, dude.

Well thanks for keeping me in the list, Matt. Having been in the “hey, I’ve been down for years now, haven’t I” club, I hear where you’re coming from. Figuring that part out is almost as depressing/frustrating as being in it. You need to follow your bliss, hopefully that will mean getting back to writing soon. I go through droughts myself. At the end of them I’m usually all itchy to get back to my hypergraphia. It’s a disease.

But at the end of it all it doesn’t matter unless you’re happy with your life. Follow your bliss, the other stuff will take care of itself.

I will say, though, that having played guitar in high school, the people who make it professionally (in big bands and high school prom bands) are not the best at it. They have perseverance, though.
