Inspiration needed

This has been a very very hard year. Right at the beginning hard things happened in my life and the trials haven't stopped all year. I wont bore anyone with the details and the number and amount of things that have happened are beyond belief anyway.

And slowly but surely my writing died. I want it back but my heart isn't in it. I need inspiration. I need a reason to write. Writing was one of the few joys in a tough life and for now it's gone. I had so many friends on here and I have slowly withdrawn from almost all. For those of you who were and are still my friends I am sorry for that.

I was quiet before and now I am much more so.

I need inspiration. I need my heart back. I need a reason to write. Help me find that spark I had to write.

If the entries are good enough I will increase the points as I have a lot to give away

Rules:

Please no erotica.
Nothing depressing
NO bashing of anyone or others beliefs
Any form is fine.
Any length is fine
I am not allowing pre-writes but you can enter as oft as you like

You can read about me on my page. All that is on there is true

God bless each of you and good luck

    May yer heart be made lighter by an angels breath.
    and yer pen move with the rhythm in yer soul.
    trials and tribulations block yer path but ye have
    the strength to see truth and accept reality.
    Fer now ye voice is silent as yer mind screams
    injustice of poetic blockedge.


    Leonora,


    May life treat ye better then it did before.

    Sorry the spark is gone.. I've lost mine, but I think that it's only because I have very little time to devote to it

    Hope it comes back

    Hello

    Hey Mr Mark Nations,

    Well I haven't heard from you in a while. I hope that these few lines find you well. We all miss you here. I hope that Amber will be able to see her one and only grandpa sometime, again. I see that you have lost your inspiration for writing. Mines comes and it goes. I just learned to go with the flow. Mines come in impulses so I tend to write lines here and there whenever it hits me. It's weird. But anyway...

    Love you,
    Julie
