I...can't...get no...inspiration. I tried, I tried, I tried. I can't get no...

Do you ever have one of those days? You know, those days when nothing seems to inspires you? Today is my day. I've gone through pages and pages of discussions that I've started, my friends started, today's hot topics, well you get where I'm going with this. What do you do on days like this? I've got about an hour and 15 minutes before I get off work...I guess I'll go play spider solitaire.

Me too some days. That happens to everybody who writes. I remember in my writing course being told that it was quite normal to happen to all of us. I would call it an impasse and the only way to deal with an impasse is to just accept it until it disappears. Other days though, I find that ideas comes so fast that I don't know where to start! LOL.

I think it's just a case of hanging in there with it. It will disappear sooner or later :-)

And I believe that it has...I was able to spend some time outdoors. I believe that I may have had a case of cabin fever. :-)

I wish I would have more of those days. :-) It seems as though they are fewer and far between lately!

I often have that problem. I hunt around and nothing attracts my interest. I'm having one of those days tonight which is why the first discussion to attract my interest is one about having trouble getting interested in any discussions. So what kind of job do you have that you can do mylot or spider solitaire while at work?

LOL LOL. I'm the evening receptionist at a hospital. It starts quieting down after the "day" folks leave. :-)

Yes reading is an excellent way to pass the time, however I do enjoy the choices we have now, don't you? :-)

Too bad the Internet and mylot didn't exist when I was a night clerk one Summer in high school. It would have been a good break from reading during those hours from 11 pm to 7 am when almost no one came in.

I think everyone has days like that? I certainly have. When the inspiration just is not there, I go find something else to do!

Like me and my spider solitaire. Didn't do too well on that either. Usually I win two or three games, but not tonight. :-(

Hi LCecelia This must be such a day for me too as I am unable to write whatever here on MyLot, or come up with any valuable topic and start a discussion, and the same goes for my blogs :( also your discussion is the only oe that I was able to answer on. Hoping that this state of mind will be gone by tomorrow as I need my creativity

I hope its not going around, and if so, I hope it doesn't stick around too long.

I know exactly what you are feeling. I was like that yesterday. I just answered a few discussions and at the end I got only 5 cents. Today is not going better. I am trying to answer some discussions but I have so many things in my mind right now. And my notebook is getting hot and sometimes it will just turn off on me. So I am worried about not even finishing my answers. Well, as Scarlet would say tomorrow is another day :)

And you are so right. I have tried, but no new topics have come up yet but I don't feel as frustrated. :-) Thanks!
