I find myself between a rock and a hard place. I have a vivid, lively, and loved cast of characters in several stories. But, I have come to a point were I have no motivation toward writing these characters or stories right now, I haven’t for a couple of years now. I’ve sat and tried to rite, and everything I have put on paper feels forced and unnatural. I have no clear plan or vision for the future of these characters. This does not mean I am abandoning them. I love them, and still identify with them on a daily basis. I just really don't know when I will ever feel up to writing them again.
So much has changed in my life over the past four years, and so much of it still feels like it is in flux. At times the world feels like it is crashing down around me, and other it feels like I am on top of the world and nothing can go wrong. There really isn’t a middle ground for me right now.
I’ve gotten back into art, and drawing, as some of you have seen. And I still have stories to tell in my writing. I just don’t know if they are in the same places I have been.
I’m thinking about trying something new. I am going to take my Taomerle setting and turn the clock back a few thousand years, to a time before the “Makes” appeared. Back to the time of the “Old Ones” and an alien environment of magic and wonder. With this, I am going to create a new race of sentient creatures, if not one maybe a few. The full plan and world has not formulated in my mind as of yet. I just feel that I am being pulled in a new direction with everything.
I will be starting by creating the main race of my new setting, and their basic social structure will follow. I really hope this gets me out of my slump of depression and lack of creativity.
