too tired to be creative

I write all the time, but I have to pay my bills so that kind of writing comes first, I just don't have the time for writing just for me anymore.

no I am on a very tight schedule I work like a horse,

Not even a little bit?

the point is I do not have the time to do both, and that is why I miss creative writing. There is not enough hours in the day to do everything, and somethings have to be dropped and this was one of them.

my schedule is hectic, I have deadlines to meet and if I don;t write I don;t make money I have priorities and creative writing cannot be one of them. Not even for 15 minutes a day. I come on mylot for relaxation when I have time, and I love to play scrabble then there are all the priorities, these two things come last of course, the mylot and the scrabble. I sometimes don't write during the day, if I am too tired Like to day I have not written any articles. My lot is not writing it is just short discussions. The life of a professional writer is hard. The clients want their work on time or the fire you and get somebody else.

I can understand how you feel. In the last three months, I have ended up doing nothing but work constantly. I get very little sleep because there is always so much work that I feel I have to get finished before I can do anything I enjoy. As a result, I feel like I have lost a lot of myself. As hard as it is, and as seemimngly impossible as it, I had to make the conscious decision to put the work away for at least 15 minutes a day and do something that makes me happy and peaks my creative mind. If I didn't begin making myself do this, I really believe that I would have lost myself completely. I know that you don't feel like there are enough hours in the day to do everything, but if you don't force yourself to take that time for yourself, you will end up resenting it later on. Fifteen minutes is not a long spam of time, but it is enough to help you feel as if there is more to life than work. Even if you talk into a tape recorder while you are doing daily household chores, it would help you keep hold of your creativity and help you realize that you really do not have to give up something that you obviously love to do.

it has a lot to do with my health as well, that makes me over tired even if I didn't do anything. thanks hon

Then Rest We don't want the B word to happen. ( the B word that rhymes with rock)

yep we just can;t do everything, I write all the time it is the kind of writing I no longer can do much of that I wish I had more time for

I do what I have to do I am a professional writer and I have worked out my budget out I make quite a bit of money writing but I have to because I am on pension and it barely covers the rent. So it just doesn't leave enough time to do creative writing that I love to do but does not pay.

It is very sad thing to be a slave to the bills all of your life. I think one good goal for every person in life is to express himself and make an impact on the world. Do you want to be a slave to the salary all of your life ? How will people remember you if you just work all the time ? It is a waste of life if you can't express yourself with what you are gifted with. Isn't there any one who can volunteer and help you with writing so you can have more time for your hobby ? Can't you ask for money from your family or friends so they will pay your rent and you don't have to work all the time ? Who knows , maybe your books will be so popular and many people will enjoy reading them and buy them , don't you think ?

thanks hon, I have lots of work and deadlines etc, writing is my job as well as my passion.

you are welcome so maybe someday could you help me cause i'm planing to write a book but not for now

well taking time her on mylot is time out for me, and on sunday I am going out with the girls. We are going to a christmas sing along and then out for dinner.

I don't have writer's block, I can write I just don;t have the time to write anything creative, I have to pay my bills. So I have to write the commercial and academic stuff I always right. That is what pays. I am just tired out and need a break but I don't have writers block at all.

oh I will never stop writing it is my passion and my livilhood it is just that I don't get to do a certain kind of writing much anymore. So sorry to hear about your flower beds.

Thank goodness, because your a wonderful writer. My oldest daughter loves to write. During the past summer she has written a few books. She reminds me of a young Stephen King. Thank you for my flower beds, I should be able to get it back to it's formal glory come spring. Especially since I don't babysit anymore.

I write all the time non stop, it is the type of writing I no longer do that I wish I had time for

I am a professional writer, it pays the bills, I just miss writing the stuff that I used to write like poems and creative writing. I worked hard to become professional don;t forget that. It is just I don;t have time to do other kinds of writing anymore.

no I don't have writers block, I know what to write I just don;t feel like it once in a while, that is all. It is no different from not feel like going out to work one day cause you are tired

I write what I like I write three topics that I am passionate about that is not the point the point is I cannot write the creative stuff because there is just no time to do it. And this is what I miss. I would love to sit down and write a poem or short story or creative piece of writing where I am just talking about my hands what they look like with from color texture etc. There is just no time for that now. It is a case of all work and no play now. Nice to see you again, I haven't seen you in a while.

I would never give up writing, I just have days when I am tired because I work very hard writing all the time.
