How to Rediscover Your Passion for Writing
Has your writing life dwindled to near non-existence? You aren’t alone, writer.
Making time to write is one thing, but you aren’t simply struggling to juggle your calendar. You seem to have fallen out of love with writing altogether. It’s not that you don’t want to write in a big-picture sense. Sharing your stories with the world has always been a dream of yours. You’ve simply lost all desire to manifest those stories in your everyday writing life.
Is this some sort of writer’s block, then? A failure to overcome procrastination? A sign that writing isn’t right for you? Nonsense. It’s time we had a chat about creative passion, writing — and more importantly, how to rediscover it for yourself.
To realize you’ve fallen out of love with your writing can hurt. Your first instinct may be to cast blame on yourself, your situation, or others who have brought doubt or distraction into your life, but I’d encourage you to actively fight this inclination.
With the full knowledge that you’ve lost your passion for your writing, it’s time to take stock of your emotions. Are you mentally or emotionally fatigued? Doubtful of your skills and stories? Afraid to tackle a particularly personal narrative, or simply overwhelmed by all that writing requires?
In getting real with your emotions, you take the first step toward making positive changes in your writing life. Try a different genre, start a different project, read, read, read.
It'll come back to you.

DEAD LETTERS
NaNoNette 
This was a very informative newsletter. I struggle with beginnings and titles. My stories seem to take off on page 3 or something like that. Maybe by working on a good first sentence, I can stave some of that off.
