I find myself struggling with the twin genres of fantasy and science fiction. Not because I make a judgment upon the worthiness of reading it, but because it seems that I have read too much of it over the last 30 years. It is so much harder to find the wonderment or not scoff at decisions of characters, that I find myself continuing to think that I need to find a new genre. Which is immediately followed by a feeling of bleh. It is almost as if I don't want to read.

Since the stories I write fit within these two genres, it may go a long way to explaining why writing has become such an impossible chore. My sense of credibility may have lost the elasticity required, which allowed me to enjoy reading someone else's work and to create my own.
