Thanks everyone.

I used to write like I breath. I think I was manic at the time but I don't know. I would write for 8-9 hours straight in an almost trance-like state. It was to the point where I wouldn't even know what I had written until I stopped and re-read it. But, it was always my best writing. I once read how sometimes you function on different brain waves (like when you drive home but then don't remember doing it,) and that the best creative mind state was in the "alpha" brain wave state. So, I used to think that was what was happening to me.

That happens very rarely now, the last time was in 2008-2009. I was writing the novel I hoped to polish and get ready to send out (the one I have 12 chapters of,) and also writing a web comic. Then this problem started and I haven't been able to write like that. I try. I get bits and pieces. Then I get really frustrated and I just can't take it.
