Frustrations of the writerly sort

So there's this thing I've been struggling for quite some time. I don't want to call it a "writer's block" because it kind of seems like an excuse for being lazy. And it usually doesn't last long. This is something that's been eating at me for a long time.
I just kinda feel that I can't write anymore.
I mean, I still write articles for the site sometimes and I write other texts at my work, but it seems like, creatively, I've dried up. I'll come up with ideas and flesh them out and everything. Heck, I'll even start writing them. But at some point I just get blocked and I can't go anymore.
I want to tell myself this is temporary. I want to keep believing that I'm just tired (I have been exhausted for quite a long time now, so there might be something to that) and that I'll get my creative mojo back soon enough.
So this blog post is just another effort to get that stupid blockade out of my system. I want to believe I'm a good writer and that I can create so many stories that may one day become meaningful to others. Here's hoping I can focus enough to get stuff done and to keep evolving.
And thanks to all of you (you know who you are) who have been supporting me in cultivating this creative side of me. Alone, I don't think I'd ever be confident enough to actually start writing and post it for others to see. I'm glad you guys believed in me and helped me evolve.
Here's hoping I can overcome this.
