I want to go back pre-blog. I want to go even further back to the days I was running Multi-user battle tech dungeons on a hacked German server. Those were in many ways the highlights of writing. Things are great now but different. For one I’m older and lack that creative energy. I don’t know that it is gone—more like I feel disconnected from it because I don’t try new things nearly as much. I spoke on this recently: try new things. Experience new things—this is what you need in order to fuel and refuel your passion.
To continue the metaphor, my passion has long been in need of an oil change. I need to try different fiction and be inspired by that. Reading the same old stuff and writing the same old stuff does little to help me grow.
