book ideas, but I'm having problems putting th

Question:

I'm filled with millions of story/book ideas, but I'm having problems putting them to paper. Can anyone help?

I majoring in creative writing in College. I wrote a book in college. I graduated, and my muse left me.

I have a whole portfolio of story starters, with accompanying outlines. BUT I'm stuck. I try to focus. I even tried recreating my dorm room (to the extent that my husband will let me) to try to invite my muse back.

Can anyone else help me out???

This may sound strange, but... is there any conflict in your life? Sometimes if there is little or no conflict (such as, you're living happy ever after with you husband, everything's a perfect dream come true), then there is no reason to use your creative outlet. Art comes from pain- and I'm willing to bet writing was your escape for a long time. Try to think about either (a) the happiest moment of your life, and if that doesn't work, (b) get lost in the worst part of your past. Induce a depression. Face your deepest fears. It ALWAYS stirs something creative.
