Life Under Construction

When you’re reading a book, what do you like the most about it?  What do YOU like to see in a novel?

Do you ever just feel empty?  Like there’s nothing left inside you to write?

When I sat down to write this blog I felt like I had nothing left to say, like I’d said everything and no matter what I share with you I’ll just be repeating myself.  It doesn’t feel good, feeling empty of words.  It feels really… uncomfortable.

I don’t feel like my life is empty.  I feel full in that respect.  I’ve got my love, my family, my friends, plenty of things to be happy about, and I am happy.  I just don’t understand why I feel like I have nothing to say.  It’s bothering me.  There’s nothing weighing on my mind.  I feel extremely light, like nothing is wrong apart from that I have nothing to say, except for the fact that I have nothing to say.  That in itself feels wrong.

Does any of this make any sense?

I know I’ve said it a million times before (and I’ll probably say it at least another million times in the future) but I’m going to say it again:

I often want to write but have no idea what I want to write about.  Sometimes the urge to write is so strong, but I end up getting frustrated because I feel empty of ideas.

And I don’t just mean in relation to blogging.  I mean all the time, in my blog, in my journal, in letters, or just writing for the sake of writing.

Does that happen to any of you guys?  Does it frustrate you like it frustrates me?

I love writing.  I haven’t always loved writing, but at some point in high school I developed this love for writing, writing anything: taking notes in class, English assignments, writing notes, poetry (I used to write a lot of poetry)… I never really cared for it before and when it hit me it really hit me.

Is this writer’s block?  I hear people all the time say that writer’s block isn’t real, but if it isn’t real then what is this?  What is this nearly overwhelming desire to write with nothing coming to mind if it’s not writer’s block?
