Her old habits of seclusion and screening out distraction remained, but there was nothing to be secluded for. Once in a while she prodded herself to write, but the old excitement of creation did not return, or if it did, it fizzled by morning after her nightly medication. It was a dry fuck, every word painful and laborious. But like sex itself, even masturbation, it was the initiative that was most lacking.
“Emotional Paralysis”, Airless Spaces, Shulamith Firestone
The best description of this feeling I’ve ever read.

Have you tried collaboration? Sometimes a not-you can be a catalyst. P.S. I want to give you the Gelsey Kirkland autobiography.
