I'm very "off and on" with writing. I'm either intensely into it and motivated, or I'm not doing it at all and have no desire to (but I still think about it). When I'm writing, I do enjoy it and have a lot of fun, but it seems like any discouragement or life stress can knock me off my game. And then when I'm not writing, I'm convinced that I hate it and I'll never go back I think over the years I've gotten more and more consistent (it seems like my writing breaks are fewer months long, at least), but I'd like to be more consistent overall. Right now, I'm writing again, but I'm trying to learn from old patterns and keep myself going. Maybe being less intense about it might help? (And I'm not opposed to taking breaks from writing... I guess I just want those breaks to be real breaks, instead of "No, I shall never write again and I need to find new passions!").
So, if my question makes any sense at all... does anyone else deal with anything like this? Other than writing schedules or goals, what helps you stay on track?
I don't know if it's exactly writer's block. Maybe a cousin to writer's block.
