So consumed that a level headed person such as yourself is praying that all things Paranormal really did exist and that bad boy Vampire warrior would honest to god, end up on your doorstep?
Yep. I’m in one of those spirals ATM. I have been in between books, eagerly waiting my next book in my Sookie Stackhouse series. Yep. The one where I’d purchased book 7 but not book 6. Anyway, for some reason I picked up my JR Ward Black Dagger Brotherhood books again out of sheer boredom. Not really thinking I’d get so absorbed this time considering I’d already read them. Wrong.
I swear my husband thinks I’m having an affair, I’ve been so tuned out. I’ve read 5 books in about 3 days. Not good on my poor old eyes but I just can’t put these books down. I’ve totally zoned out and am walking around in a daze. A horrible, yearning, resentful daze. I know it’s not healthy. Here I thought my depression was under control. Perhaps not.
Pathetic. Really, really pathetic.
Strange thing is I have the sudden urge to write too. I don’t have a story in my head. Just the urge to write. I could go back to my poor old WIP’s and see what I can do to those but I’ve hashed and rehashed those so many times I don’t know if I’m coming or going anymore. I don’t have the staying power that’s required for writing. I used to have lots of ideas and images racing around my head. It’s like someone’s pulled the plug. Dead. Gone. Kaput!
Sometimes it’s just easier to read what someone else writes, isn't it?
Yeah. Not a good place today. Tomorrow will be better. I hope.

Sometimes you need to lose yourself in someone else's words in order to regroup. Relax and enjoy it. You have the urge to write, the ideas will come.
What about you write down what you are feeling now on paper - not just in a blog? People also want to read about real people. As for depression...anytime you want to talk you know where to find me
Lyn (((hugs))) on feeling down now that you are emerging from reading for days. You've invested time into these characters so naturally you will feel sad when you exit that world. But use the urge to write. Whatever - just get it down and hopefully you will immerse yourself in your own words. Good luck!
