Another two months gone since I last posted...this has been a very fallow year for my writing, which is okay. We all have peaks and valleys and elephants that appear who need to be eaten...
What is your elephant in the room?
One of mine is that I'm tired of renting and want my own home again, one that I can decorate any way I want and where I can plant a garden and not worry about having too much stuff to move when it comes time to do so.
The bigger one, and the one that I can do something about right here, right now, is that I've lost my creative drive somewhere - I have all these great ideas to pursue, books with my blog posts on certain topics in them, books of fairytales with talismans, fetishes if you like, touchstones even, to reinvigorate one's belief in oneself, one's knowledge, one's intuition - I know I should just suck it up, buttercup, and start putting one foot in front of the other and keep moving down the path instead of taking one small, shaking step and halting.
It's like the hiking we just did - one step in front of the other until you reach your destination and see what it is you came to see.
Sometimes I feel like I've taken too long of a break to ever start again, and then I read something and CLICK - I can begin again and move forward from right where I am.
So, what steps are you taking to begin again and move forward with your dreams and ideas?
Until next time, Namaste!
I struggle with the same thing. This is perhaps one of the longest dry spells in my writing, and I attribute it to routine (easier than actually sitting at the keyboard and getting to work...). So I am trying some new things to try and shake myself out of the doldrums to see if that works somewhat.
