I don't really know where inspiration comes from. It's puzzling how it seems impossible at times to get through the wall in my mind. I've been trying endlessly for months to write something that I like, with no progress. Then suddenly the wall disappears without warning or reason. I'm not at all educated in metaphysics, but it seems like this would be a worthwhile study. I've really felt as though the block in my mind was a physical one. I wish I could find the secret to all of this; why my imagination suddenly let down it's guard.
I mainly wanted to write tonight to mark the occasion of writing the most promising bit of music I've started in my whole life. It's nice to feel this way again. I'm afraid to go to sleep; wondering if that wall will be back up again tomorrow. I hope you all are sleeping soundly.

I know exactly what you mean. I'll go weeks without a drop of inspiration or creativity, and suddenly something will burst and water is everywhere like a dam was broken.
Sounds like you're happy, I hope you have some fun!

If- by some miracle of investigation- you or someone you know of manages to find a correlation or causation about writers block, PLEASE PLEASE send me a super quick note about it.
The only distinction i have been able to make, is that there is a direct relationship between heightened sensitivity to things around me, and in being able to write something that makes me feel its worth type time.
While emotions are sinusoidal, sometimes i let myself become of a low-amplitude numbness. And in those times, nothing of value comes out. theres no rhythm, theres no rhyme. Theres no angst, and even great emotions have angst. And so, nothin gets written.
Loving what songs ive gotten so far, btw...
