The voices in my head are back

[Blue Ginger]

AKA my writers block has finally broken.

I have been suffering from writers block for just over 10 years. It has been very frustrating because writing is one of my few outlets.

I was never going to make a living from it and I mainly wrote for myself. Only a handful of people have read any of my big pile of writing, that includes everything from short stories to poems to songs.

But a couple of weeks ago I woke up in the middle of the night with a scene playing perfectly in my head and an urge to get writing. I now have 40 pages written.

And I'm doing the happy dance as I keep writing.

Congratulations. 10 years is a long time, did you do (or eat) something differently? If you can isolate that factor, you might not get writers block for as long.

I love the voices that talk to me as well, I am never alone and we have the best conversations.

Got really really drunk on Pimm's and vodka while listening to AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Deep Purple and Jimi Hendrix and reading Sex, Thugs and Rock'n'Roll by Billy Thorpe (Aussie Rocker that was big in the sixties and seventies.)

If I had of known this is all it would take, I would have done it years ago.

Congrats. I had a 5-10 year dry spell too. Didn't write anything for a long time, then about 7 years ago, someone posted a setting that hit the right chords and things just flowed out. Dried out after a bit but then that person set up another setting that's kept me going for the past 3 years now.

A writer (I forget who) once said, "You never have to change anything that you got up in the middle of the night to write."

Anyway! Congrats! I had a very long spell of my own (close to 20 years) in which I only occasionally scribbled. I started again in 2007 and can't even describe how good it felt to write again.
