I think I might have writer's block.

Or maybe I don't and it's called something else.

Lemme explain the symptoms then. Any my medicine/psych peeps who can help me out of this stupor would be great.

So I know what I wanna write. I've got it all in my head. I have the ending already envisoned (which will be great!) and the basic foreground. The problem is just getting motivated to write it! Or, to keep my house metaphor, I can't get myself to start building.

My typical means of inspiration feel dry. I listen to certain music over and over, kinda like a backgrounnd music if you will, and that gets me writing. If it's epic, maybe some boss music or orcheastra. If it's calm, something that's easy listening. In the city = something upbeat and busy. In space = menu or world map theme. You can get a feeling of what I write when you listen to specific types of music, more so with what I listen to. However the music is getting... harder to listen to if that makes sense. I can't have pure silence. I need Lola (my mom's dog) barking at cats, a child next door laughing, the TV on some channel besides news, dammit all I need a cough!

And when I get the right music, I can't get myself to write still. I wanna improve on what I work on. If y'all reread some of my older stuff it's almost hard to bear. Quality-wise, Bounty is better than The Demon Swordsman, and The Exploits of Artemeus is far better than Bounty. I also wanna get better with battle scenes. Describing a battle is easier than drawing it, but to get that feeling is easiest in a drawing. We've become so used to seeing things that we've felt a need to describe it more.

If I can break out of this mess I feel in my mind, then no worries. If I can't, then y'all are looking at about only four more chapters until I gotta get to it. I'm not gonna end a project I've begun posting now, nor do I plan to do so. But if y'all got any ideas on what I could do to get the spark in full flame, I'll kindly take up suggestions. That being said, I might not reject them so kindly.
