I have hit a wall with my writing and I don't get it. I guess name this post writer's block is not exactly accurate. I mean i have plenty to write about, I get new ideas daily. My problem is lately when i get home from work i don't feel like writing. When I'm at work though all these fantastic ideas pour into my brain like a river overflowing its banks. It like my house is the void of inspiration and as soon as I walk through the doors all creativity that was once in me disappears and leaves me with only the ability to lounge. My other problem is my inability to finish any piece I start. I'm currently working on 4 novels with at least 4 more novels I'm just letting run around in my brain, but I can't seen to finish any thing. What will generally happen with me is I will write a really good beginning and stop then when I go back to sit down I'll tweak the beginning again and it just keep happening every time. I'm constantly tweaking the beginning. Its almost OCD, I know that the beginning of the book is very important because if you don't hook the reader right away there is a higher chance that they put the book down and never pick it up again, but I think I'm putting to much emphasis on that in my mind and I can't get past it. Now I know that most of my readers are friends of mine who may not be into writing and may have no idea how to fix my problem, But if someone out there happens to read this post and understands the inner workings of the human brain please leave a comment. I am absolutely, 100% serious about this, I want to finish something eventually.
Peace

Hey, I know exactly what you mean. You would not believe how many songs I have started but can't seem to finish. It's immensely frustrating. It's a problem that nearly every artist faces. All part of the game I guess. An artist is never satisfied with his work. What you gotta do is look at all that you have accomplished until now, and be satisfied with that for the time being. Inspiration will come in it's due time, as long as you still push yourself creatively.
