What To Do When Your Brain Feels Desiccated

I'll be honest, I'm not sure where I'm going with the blog here. I thought I'd tell you about how my brain hit a brick wall yesterday and it's been like pulling teeth trying to remove any solid creative ideas from out of there. Then after that, I was hoping to get around to my theories as to why this happens to me. And the plan then was to conclude with actionable tips for others who might struggle with creative lapses like the one I'm currently having.

But wouldn't you know it? When your brain hasn't been fully functional, it's hard to get it to co-operate for even the simplest of posts. My tank is fully on empty again.

I am 99% done with the next issue of my newspaper but on top of everything, my gf and I received more troubling news within our social circle. I'm being vague because, well it's all fucked up and still in progress. We've been dealing with so much... So I had to kind of fully shut myself down this afternoon & evening. It's so hard for me to get myself to take a break but sometimes, that's the only thing to do.

Tomorrow, I'll release the next issue of the paper a day late (but nothing short), stream with my friend, and then... well, my brain isn't working right now, I'll come up with something later... Probably go back to bed for a few days? That sounds nice...
