Where are you?

You may have noticed I haven't written anything on here in almost a week and a half. Something is going on with me. I haven't had a desire to write...at all. I don't like this feeling (or lack thereof) one bit, as I feel a piece of who I am is missing right now.

I write. It's what I do. So where has that part of me gone? The part of me that has a flash of insight, a creative desire, or contemplative inkling to explore a topic through writing has not been there. I miss it terribly, yet I don't know how to get it back. I could force myself to write, I realize. It's not the same though. Contrived writing is boring, lifeless. I want the PASSION for it back. I liken it to a relationship with a lover or spouse. When things 'click' and you feel a connection, it's a wonderful feeling and can even sustain you through the difficult areas of your life. When things feel complacent or 'off' somehow, you feel as if you have to re-examine what's going on in the relationship and what you can do to make it fulfilling and connected again.

My writing is my one true love. I am feeling sad and abandoned. Is my true love on strike? On vacation? Taking a nap? We all need breaks. Just please come back to me. Soon.
