Mini Writers Block...Winter Depression

Good morning to all.......

Just having one of those "periods" where the "old creative juices" don't seem to be flowing all that well...As I assume it is with most writers, my creative "flashes" tend to come in bunches...I'll get ideas and write 4-5 of what I think are really good poems, and then, have some "down time"....oh well, guess I'll just have to deal with it....lol.
I am trying to widen my horizons here in 2007 and try writing some "different" type of things...different forms of poetry....I have been reading a lot of different types of poetry (lot of poets here on WDC) and have gotten some great ideas.....some of the people here at WDC are just such good writers/poets, etc....it does amaze me that some of the writers here are like "machines"....they just keep pumping out all this writing on a daily basis (most of it, really good stuff..)

We were having a really great winter here in New England (although, I'm sure the skiers and snowmobilers wouldn't agree...lol) it's been in the 50's and 60's and even close to 70 here and there which is unheard of for January in New England...but back to reality...been in the teens, the last few days....oh well, just have to wait for spring....

well it's off and running for the day.....
