What is the flint and steel for creativity? How do you re-ignite it? I’m not talking about writer’s block. I’m talking about a dried up well, a sputtering font.

This year I’ve lost the drive to create anything at all. It isn’t that I can’t. I just don’t want to. I see no point.

I’m burned out and used up in every area of my life. There isn’t much of me to give any more. There is just a little bit left. I feel faded.

I have no idea what batteries I once ran on, but they need to be replaced. Or the power system needs to be upgraded.

No Soup for You

The other morning I realized that there is a sub-theme that I sometimes encounter within the hotel dream. Once in a while I will come across a buffet or a cafeteria. The cafeteria is usually closed, having just shut down or making preparations to open for the day. If I do make it to the cafeteria or buffet while they are open, most of the food is already gone. And if there is something I’ve been craving, they are most certainly out of that dish. Sold the last one just before I got there.
