but we knew they'd try

[tea_and_ink]

Been feeling odd, lately. As if I had this well inside my head, this pit of ideas waving and revolting around, making themselves known, making me stop and stare. And then I grab my legal pad and... they're gone. I wanna write and, apparently I can, the ideas are there which is sort of fundamental for the craft, I think, but I don't seem to have the drive. Or something.

I'm intimidated by a legal pad.

Don't even wanna bother with the laptop.

But, this is a happy day because I am convinced that leaves are falling! Finally!

So, back to the original reason for this post (when in doubt, always ask your flist), does this lack of drive, as I have christened it, happen to you? If so, how do you handle it? Advices?

Yeah, you're right. It's like running water, open the faucet and it starts going.

I think my issue is not so much what to write, as much as it is how to go about it, I get these ideas and I can see the whole thing, not finished, but structured at least, so my guess is that the problem comes when getting started. I'm hoping once I do open the faucet something comes out.

Thank you so much for the advice!
