Can you get lost searching for inspiration?

It’s my tagline… searching for inspiration …but what does that mean?

Seriously. I am asking.

I am not a prolific writer. I never have been. I try to find ways to get me writing. I have tried the just write anything who cares if it’s garbage but it doesn’t really work for me. I have used prompts and sometimes it’s enough to inspire me to continue writing.

Then, I decided to try other creative outlets: ukulele, guitar, crocheting, knitting, drawing, painting - you get the picture.

I am floundering. I am drowning in inspiration. It’s not enough. Now I have too many outlets and I still don’t write. I actually feel guilty for not writing. It gnaws at me.

I know it’s me. I know I have to change the way I think about writing and how I write.

It’s the same old refrain.

But seriously, you start to question yourself when your work hasn’t been accepted anywhere for over a year and a half.

It must be me, right?
