I think I have traced the origins of my crabby mood. I've been so proud that I'd started writing poetry again, but today I looked back at my recent work and it just looks like crap to me. I'm so discouraged. I feel like a great sump of unfulfilled potential sometimes.

Okay, back to something productive. Maybe.

Given how long you had writer's block, it's hardly surprising that your first work once you get past that is not your best ever. It takes a little while to get back into practice. Don't be too hard on yourself about it.

The last time I had a hiatus from writing (not anything like this long, granted) I started right back in at a higher plateau than I'd left. It was like my whole style had been evolving on its own and was then ready to be expressed. This is what I was hoping for again.

That said, you could well be right. I should be spending more time with all those little writing exercises and helpful books that I got to help me through this. Although I still wish I could find a writers' group dedicated to breaking through writers' block.
