All this month, I have been writing like a maniac. I've done two rather lengthy short stories and a couple of poems, now, however I just can't force myself to write. I've tried, believe me, I've tried but nothing good is coming out at least nothing that is willing to stick.

I'm hoping it's going to pass and is in no way related to the bout of strangeness I've been having the past few days. It's not what I'd call a depression, more a subtle melancholy.
