Motivation

I wanted to title this post "Repression vs. Inspiration" because I've not been able to write for a bit and that comes at a time when I'm having a hard time with expressing my emotions.  But when I really thought about it, I'm not really repressing any more.  I'm just filled up.  There's no extra room in the cup that holds my emotions.  I let little bits out and new little bits take their places.  I'm expressing, I'm just not making any progress against all that extra emotion that's inside.

When I thought some more, I realized I'm not really having an inspiration problem either. I've been having ideas.  At one point, I had about ten different tabs open on my browser, each with an article that had sparked an idea I wanted to write about.  I didn't turn my computer off for a week, so as to keep the ideas close at hand.  I eventually realized that I'm still having ideas, but that "umph" I require to write just isn't there right now.

So much for "Repression vs. Inspiration".  I guess "Being over-filled with emotions guts motivation" just doesn't sound that good.  But it is accurate.  I'm hoping that the next couple of weeks will allow me the space to release enough of that extra emotion that I'll become motivated again.  I think that is what will happen.  Since my emotions were preventing me from writing about my emotions, I thought it might be appropriate to write about that.  (Does that sentence amuse you all as much as it does me?)  ENOUGH ALREADY!  Get crying so you can get back to writing!  Okay, I'll try.
