I've been in a slump like this for a few weeks now.
It's not that I don't want to do ANYTHING. I am trying to get a couple of alts leveled, keep amassing poetics to maximize my Ilvl before the expansion, and keep up little private RP sessions here and there.
But the things I think I OUGHT to be enthusiastic about - the Bard thing, songcrafting, writing up the three journal/story entries I've been meaning to write, helping to stir up some community RP - those things, I can't seem to force myself to do, even though time hasn't been a factor.
I'm still affected, but I got a few sparks in the right direction by catching new movies, trying new places and things to do in RL. Plus, the deadline pressure for the weekend's RP events has helped a little.
I think Maia has the right of it, and I agree with her thoughts, though there's one thing I can add:
I think SUCCESS can also lead to burnout. I've accomplished a LOT of the things I wanted Nathan to be able to do since January, and I still am awed by how well, for example, the Singing Telegram project worked. Sometimes, I imagine, we just need a Shiny New Project to turn Maintenance in Motivation.

"But in the laugh there was another voice. A clearer laugh, an ironic laugh. A laugh which laughs because it chooses not to weep."
