~zampano, could fiction be an option for your writing? Sometimes there's just nothing left to say about what's going on in the world, but reframing your feelings within the context of a story can offer some comfort — both to you and whoever reads it.
A great question, and one I've thought about myself. I've neither ruled it out nor decided that it's the best approach, but it's something that's stuck around in my head for awhile to varying degrees.
More than anything else, I'm currently exploring what form I might like my fiction to take. Where I tend to struggle right now is in the connections between set pieces (so to speak); I can write vignettes or scenes that I think are pretty good, but then I get stuck knowing where to go from there. I've been devoting most of my time creativity-wise to becoming a better visual artist, as I'm thinking that particular medium may suit how my mind works better. For example, I really like the work of Simon StĂĄlenhag, both in terms of technique/art style and how he does wordless storytelling.
With all that said, I don't think I could ever completely give up writing text, so it remains to be seen how this all balances out.
