Let’s talk about the weather.
Alright, let’s not 
Lately, I’ve been in a bit of a bind, rut, hole, et cetera. I’ve read a lot of fantastic books that I want to review, I’ve seen a few films that have made me think a little bit on things, but my brain feels tired. I have so many things that I want to say, but when I write them down they just seem meaningless and empty. I’ve actually tried to write a few entries in this blog after writing that short bit about the Sandbox, but I’ve usually just gotten bored and X’ed out of the window.
On top of that, I feel like I’m sort of letting people who read this blog down. I suppose that this is because I read other people’s blogs for the interesting, thought-provoking, or even just amusing posts. Right now, I just feel all dried-up. There’s really no excuse like “Oh, I have coursework” or “Oh, I have work”, it’s mostly that I feel like I can’t completely materialise my thoughts into words. On top of that, I’ve had little inspiration for making art. One of the things that I worry about most is feeling “stuck in a rut” for a long time. For a whole year, I stopped making art once. I don’t want a year to go by until something finally gives me the drive to create things, whether they’re just my silly blog posts or not.
Something will come along, I guess. (cue to prompt readers to respond) Do you guys ever get stuck? What do you do to get out of it?

My advice would have to be to get yourself as FAR AWAY FROM RUNESCAPE AS POSSIBLE.

Ahh I had this same problem with writing for about 2-3 years until I read a novel (Twilight I believe it was) that inspired me to start writing again. What I’d say is to keep on reading and see if anything comes along that you find interesting. I don’t think you should necessary just get away from Runescape as Chief said, because sometimes they may come out with updates that you could talk about. Immerse yourself in media and you’ll be sure to find some sort of debate or gossip to talk about.

Go Rock Climbing…you need a way to get all that frustration and bordom out…it also helps you sleep better (irony alert…I just pulled…another all nighter). Anyhow, pick up kickboxing mabye, or why not judo…just do something to strengthen your body while letting your mind rest…it really takes away all your frustration and allows you to focus, along with giving you a much needed break from the daily grind.
Oh, and party like a rockstar!

I’ve ben in a situation like this, I never know what to do, I just kinda live my live without actually paying attention. If I were you I would do something you haven’t done before, like as Christopher said, Rock Climbing, etc, or set yourself a project, it’ll probabaly help, well it did with me.

Inspiration is a touchy thing. Personal too. But with writings, art and poetry involvement into some kind of a subject society usually helps.
As for stress removal, rock climbing may actually be a good advice. But it’s again personal. My way of getting rid of stress is to make a day long solo hike somewhere in the woods. Clears mind just like that
In any case, good luck!
