Beacause the facts REALLY need to be faced. The fact of the matter is:
I DO NOT CARE TO CREATE FICTION.
I think that maybe I have not really been suffering from writer's block for 10 years. Maybe I just don't write fiction because, the fact is, I DON'T WRITE FICTION. I've always preferred factual stuff - movies that are true stories, real stories about real people. I love truth. I believe wholeheartedly in truth and reality. I love to help people see the truth and reality. And I so very easily and joyfully write about truth and reality. It is not a forced thing. I do not have to try. It is good and simple and natural and fun.
Writing fiction feels the same as trying to write a song. I have an idea in my head of what an awesome song or story would be, but I can't fathom one bit how to get it out into tangible, audible, or just visible stuff. I can't form it into something real. A lot of what blocks me is the thought, This is nothing new, and no matter what I create, it will never be something new. It is simply the truth.
Writing about reality though, is not new or old. It just simply is, and it always will just simply be. I am sure there are philosophical arguments to this. But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! ;)
