Attempting to Renew My Passion for Writing
Is it possible?
If you’ve read my previous article about how my once strong, fiery passion for writing has died, then you can understand the challenge ahead of me.
I miss writing. I’m at a point in my life where I need to take into consideration what I have, who I am, and what I want to do. This is crucial, and reflection upon what’s going on in my life has always been just as important to me. I fear losing my bearings.
I want to write again. I am envious of those who write often and seem to have infinite amounts of creativity. Where does it come from? How do you re-spark this type of thing?
Writing for me was always a release when I was depressed or just unhappy (there is a difference!). I’m not at that kind of point in my life. Luckily, I’ve moved on and was able to get my head above water. So what now, I ask. What do I do? What do I write about when I am fearful of going back to such a dark place, yet seek renewing the deep passion I had for writing.
Well, I suppose all I can do is start off small. My niche will come to me. I am not sure what I’ll start trying to write just yet but what’s important is that I do make the effort. I am afraid, excited and anxious all at the same time. I hope the results are decent at best.

Still supporting you. Just because you are no longer depressed doesn’t mean your talent is no longer there. Just look at the world around you at all the unhappy people and write stories about what you see them going through. Doesn’t mean you will be taken back to that dark time in your life. Good luck!

I have found out that when we pour our thoughts when we are depressed, we will able to sublimate our frustration and pain.

You don’t have to make any effort, because writing has to be something pleasurable to do. There’re many ways to overcome writer’s block -free write whatever passes through your mind not even botethering about misspelling or grammar; not at this stage, just write… You can take a thick notebook and a pen to go out people watching, taking notes on what you see, hear, smell or feel. You can use your childhood to write about people you met or places you had been.. There’re just so many things to write about Don’t get obssesed with your views, comments or even your earnings. Don’t even get obssesed with this trendy way to write that is online writing. You can write as so everyone else if you have something worth saying. Inspiration exists but she has to meet you at work!

I think all writers or artists for that matter, go through the same phase. For me, writing is a creative activity that shouldn’t be forced. It should come naturally.
