Review Fatigue
I was looking through my account on WdC earlier today and I just realized that I've given a grand total of six reviews in the last five months. 
More than anything, I think I'm feeling a little bit of review fatigue. In addition to reading and providing feedback on items here, I also read screenplays both professionally and for fellow screenwriter friends. I'm a member of several other writer-centric groups and message boards, and I'll often read the stories of other members when asked. And sometimes, I guess I just get a little burned out with the whole process of reading with a critical eye, looking for praise to give and improvements to suggest. My reading time hasn't decreased in the past five months, but I've largely been reading for fun. Screenplays and books and articles that I can just read and enjoy and move on from, without having to digest, consider, and articulately compose a response for the author.
I'm hoping I can get back into reviewing soon, because I really do love to review. I love helping other writers improve their craft. I guess my current reviewing funk is just lasting a lot longer than it usually does, where I'll take a month or so off.
If anyone has some suggestions about how to get back into the whole reviewing thing, please let me know! I could use a motivational pep talk right about now.
