Creative Road Blocks

I seem only to be able to write fiction when I am depressed. Then I seem to be at my most creative, Which I consider "not a good thing". I also can either read, edit, or write. I can't seem to do all three at the same time. When I am writing fiction, I stop reading everything but the newspaper. If I am editing a manuscript, I can't read anything else or write. I don't know why. I know that this is a "mental" thing and not based in any science at all.
Also I have ideas for puppets and dolls but unless I have a REAL deadline (not one I create) I can't seem to push past this. I have had this sort of problem all my life. It does not cross over into my work. I am great create structure and deadlines for myself and meet or beat expectations. It seems when I am doing something for myself that I find this problem rearing its ugly head.

One of the Good Ones

Julie Schwartz, legendary fan and editor, passed away last night.

He was one of those people who made the world a nicer place to be.

He will be missed.
