Writer's Block?

iceminkSo I'm trying very hard to write the next chapter of The Guardian right now, and it's not coming. It's not that I don't know what's going to happen next, or that I can't set the scene right, or I'm not sure how to start, all the usual sorts of writer's blocks I encounter from time to time, I just can't quite seem to focus.
It's not just fic either. I've been suffering from a general ennui that I can't seem to shake. I don't know why either. I love my job, although it's been less fun over the holidays. They hired a ton of seasonal people to help out in the store, and there's so many of us, that it's often hard to find a customer to help out. But still, I can't of another job I'd rather have right now.
And that's the thing, there's nothing wrong in my life. Sure it would be nice if I was dating someone, I've even started looking into online dating. But I don't think that's what's making me feel down. In fact, rather ironically, I'm not really interested in reading or writing smut right now. I'm kind of tending towards the theory that I'm chemically imbalanced somehow. Actually I have a theory that it might be lack of sunlight, not that it hasn't been nice and sunny here in Colorado (even with the snow), but I've gotten lazy and taken to driving to work. I think maybe tomorrow I'll force myself to walk so that I get some sunshine. I've never gotten seasonal depression in Colorado before, but I did have it when I lived in England, so I guess I am susceptible.
Anyway, I am still here, and I'm trying to write, it's just not going as quickly as I wish it would. Hopefully I'll have more soon.
