Outside of stuff for work, I haven't really written anything in almost over two years. I've tried. I sit or lay down in front of my computer nearly every day to work on my writing.
I'm only posting this now because I was just reminded of this. I missed out on a comment someone left on one of my stories five months ago. I'd just stopped bothering to check on the writing sites for comments and reviews because I just wasn't writing anything so I wasn't logging in to check on things. The person said they really wanted me to continue writing what they read. I wish I could. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I feel terrible most of the time. I feel exhausted. I'm sick quite often. I have nothing to show for the last two years.
On a side note, I get clocked femme without even trying. It's surreal. I'm not dressing the part, wearing only male clothing. I just have long hair and I'm overweight. I'm really tall. I don't get it. I get young ladied, ma'am-ed, and miss'ed multiple times a week without trying. I'm not out and I'm not trying to pass at all. It just feels strange.

Walk
I'm a firm believer in walking to get the creative juices flowing. I wrote nothing for four months while I was sick, then when I got well enough to walk again, I started writing again. I try to walk about 2 miles a day, 5 days a week and 1/2 mile a day on days I don't do two. Try it, it might work for you.
Hugs,
Erin

This walking works for me too
This walking works for me too. And, I have a four-legged companion to go with me.

I hope it's a good "feels strange". Hang in there hon, your creative juice will return. Loving Hugs, Talia
hope the juices flow again
hugs!
go out
And do stuff. Walk, cycle, visit museums, take a trip to the next town but do something. Inspiration doesn't come sat in front of a screen, that's just where you interface with the recording device.
So get out of the house, it'll clear your head and inspiration can come from almost anything. And don't restrict your options to a single genre - you don't have to write TG exclusively!

Exercise is good, but you
Exercise is good, but you also need to make sure that if your diet is like mine, that you take supplements.
Specifically, Vitamin D3, B12, and B Complex. Plus a multivitamin. Vitamin C is important, but a lot of beverages have that added in already, so you might be okay.
Vitamin D3 and the B's can help if you have depression and lethargy. It's helped me to a point (but then, I'm not exercising so I don't get the best results out of it)
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
