Just a handful of days ago I was excited. Excited about my writing, excited about getting to tell others my stories, and excited in general. Today I am pretty much the opposite. It isnt that I dont want to still bee cheerful, I am just down on myself for some reason. It seems like everywhere I look people that I respect are doing their thing and getting places with it, while I am stuck here doing nothing with my work.
I have ideas coming out my butt, the thing is right now, and this always happens, I dont like any of them. The thing is that I don't feel like any of my ideas have a hook. By a hook I mean I dont feel like my writing has anything new to offer. Everything feels old and rehashed. I suppose this is from reading and re-reading my work so many times it feels like my eyes are bleeding. But what else can I do?
I hate this feeling. I hate knowing that this will last days as it always does...if not weeks. There really isnt anything new with how I am feeling tonight, but it is rediculous how much I seem to go through this. I dont have a creative block. I am making myself do something writing or drawing related every day. I just dont happen to see the point right now...

I have told you before, will tell you again and will keep telling you that you have some really good ideas. You just need to stop looking around at what everyone else is "doing" and do your own thing. I know how you get and you will get thru this phase as well, but when you come out on the other side keep plugging away at what you are doing.
