Sometimes this requires just not getting up at all.<br /><br />Can't have the ups without the downs and all that. Seem to be on the way towards a rather large up at the moment though. Things for me have been getting better for a few months and show no signs of slowing down. Hopefully you'll be on the up soon too.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing your new 40k story BTW, as Cell was just amazing.Arquinsielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290858295232803685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477143695543382552.post-13792788096042747522014-09-16T09:33:48.076+01:002014-09-16T09:33:48.076+01:00Oddly, unless or until I medicate, I can always wr...Oddly, unless or until I medicate, I can always write. I can't always get interested in anything else, but I can always connect to some kind of creativity, although collaboration is more straightforward than working independently.<br /><br />It's life I struggle with. My interest in the general nonsense falls away, and that's the stuff that usually appears over here. The World becomes a blur, and I become dull to it.<br /><br />This too shall end, of course, and the sooner the better… For you, too, I hope.Nicola Vincent-Abnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04865608045342419682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477143695543382552.post-71773804886056769442014-09-16T04:53:03.582+01:002014-09-16T04:53:03.582+01:00Something really just struck me with the above blo...Something really just struck me with the above blog. A particular turn of phrase: "nothing to say." I noticed, retrospectively, that when I was moderately depressed I wrote prolifically. It wasn't good, but there was lots of it. Now that I'm "enjoying" a downswing I seem to feel like I have nothing to write about. People poke and say I should write something, but my response is always "what? I've got nothing to say on any subject".<br /><br />I wonder if this is either common to or a function of depression? It just seems really interesting that you've phrased it similarly to me in this context.Arquinsielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290858295232803685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477143695543382552.post-58070893462561758402014-09-15T23:33:38.493+01:002014-09-15T23:33:38.493+01:00See how lovely you are?

You have published much more than that in books and blogs, and are more interesting.<br /><br />So, taking as an axiom I am the measure of good taste, you can take all the time you need and still be ahead of the curve. ; )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
