All about this craziness

I started this blog so that I could quite literally practice writing. I finally got the gumption to just go after my dream of writing a novel, but when I started to try to write I found that I needed to stretch my writing muscle. It wasn't working very well. I have a lot of things that I want to explore and talk about, but I needed an outlet to do that. Thus the Write Monster was developed. What I blog about will probably be fairly random, but hopefully full of good stuff. Enjoy!

Struggles

I don't think that I have ever felt so uninspired in my entire life. It feels like any words that I can get down on the page are pulled out of me from the very bottom of my toenails. Everything that comes out of me is painful. And I will be the first to admit that it's not very good. The situations are simple, the characters aren't deep and the plots suck. Well, maybe not the plots because those are usually my husband's ideas. I can't even come up with things to write about. Where in the world has my inspiration gone? I've tried just writing up characters and trying to make them deeper and more rich. I can't seem to grasp their very realness that I feel and put it onto the page. Everything comes up painfully shallow. Because everything has been so hard to get onto the page, I find myself not even finding a want to write. I am going to try to practice more and do 10 minutes of free writing every day. Which I am going to then clean up and post on here. Hopefully so that I can look at it and see some type of improvement so I don't get so down on myself. I just feel so uninspired. Can you say writer's block? What have you done to help yourself get past writer's block? I need ideas!
