Monologue Description: “DON’T FEEL LIKE IT” is a drama about getting bored with your passion.

Character Description: In this monologue, Harold talks to his girlfriend about the fact that he may not want to write anymore.

HAROLD:

I don’t want to…I know, I should force myself to do it but I-I just, feel drained…like the blood flowing through my body has been sucked dry. I may have felt this way before…in fact, I know I have. I know it’s not writer’s block–it’s just the pain in the ass of writing that is getting to me. It’s more than my desires this time…it’s my life. My own life is getting in my own way…How do you remove that? hahaha. It’s not that I don’t have the ability…just not sure if I give a fuck…

Not sure if I am ever going to write again…I have to focus my attention on other things now…part of me feels that I should write through the obstacles, the other part of me simply does not care anymore.

(she asks him a question)

Self worth? Hmmmm, that’s a tough one. I have to search within who I am again, to get the pen out. The pulse is still there but it’s weak…not sure I need this anymore…

…it’s taken it’s toll on me…
