Writer's Block, Sorta
Except it's really not. I have ideas for stories all the time. What I have is some sort of enthusiasm block. I start a story, and it just never goes anywhere. I think, in some way, blogging has had a detrimental effect on my writing, because I'm trained to pound out a couple paragraphs then immediately post them for instant feedback and validation. I've gotten impatient with anything that requires more than 5 minutes worth of effort.
And that's screwed up. What do some of you writers out there do? How do you manage to have a blog and still have enthusiasm for creating things that take a few weeks? I really need help with this. I started a story this morning and I have exactly one sentence written. I'm already depressed by how many more I need to write before it's done. I don't really see the point any more. I'm afraid that I'll never write anything of merit ever again.
Help.
