How Do I Get My Writing "Mojo" Back?



"How do I begin to tell the story of a writer who is looking for her writing mojo?" I still love the idea of writing, however, my mojo lately has been lacking. I jot down thoughts, words, titles, but do not find the motivation to write about any of it. Am I done as a writer? What has happened to my dream to become a published author one day? What do I do to get the words flowly from my head, to the pen, to the paper?

For anyone out there who has gone through this "phase", if I can call it that, please tell me how you dealt with it. I tell myself everyday, "You need to write, don't let another day go by", and yet the day does end without anything being written. If I had to guess, I would say it is the state of mind I am in. For the past several months, my life has been a roller coaster, and the thought of writing just added to my stress and I did not want to deal with it. I have written before about not letting your emotions or happenings in your life, affect your ability to write on a daily basis. However, I have had trouble "practicing what I preach".

How do I get out of this rut??? I enjoy writing and want my MOJO back!!! All and any advice is welcome.
