I feel you so hard. (Hugs) Staying out of my own shit, even though I want to commiserate with you, I'll share 2 things. 1. Neil Gaiman's first advice about writing is just to write. Tell that brain of yours to shut up and just write. In high school, one of my English teachers made us journal regularly. If we couldnt think of anything to write, we had to write "I hit a roadblock." Over and over until we thought of something else to write. Some days, you spend half an hour writing nothing but I hit a roadblock. Some days you write it a few times then move on. Some days, you don't hit that roadblock at all. So just write. Dont worry about what you're writing, if it's good or bad. Just write. 2. A friend of mine once told me that she was able to really thrive in writing songs by using The Artist's Way. It's a book about finding your creativity, regardless of what it is and how it benefits your life. But it helps get the juices flowing. I bought it a long time ago...but I get busy and never worked my way through it. It's going on the magic shelf as one of the books to work with. It might be worth checking out.
