I’m not on track with the writing as I had planned (hoped) this week, but I’m trying to let it go. It will come-- the writing always comes. I have no doubt that when it does come, it will be like opening the floodgates. Still, I know I can’t just wait for it to come, I need to help it along. Sheri’s visit this weekend will help-- good conversation helps stimulate my creativity. Reading a well-written book, seeing a poignant film, creating something-- whether a home cooked meal or order out of chaos-- gets my mind humming. And right now, I need that familiar hum instead of the crackle of white noise I seem to be experiencing.
I know my imagination is there, waiting for me. I know because my dreams lately are vivid and multi-layered, full of emotion and character… and plot. The writer may not be writing, but the brain is still telling stories. That’s how I know the writing will come.
Soon, I hope.
Life. Love. Writing. Friendship.
Sex. Books. Movies. Travel. Politics. Feminism. Academia. Insomnia. Rants. Raves. Chocolate. Lots of chocolate. Some names have been changed, some stories have been embellished. Thanks for stopping by and beware of the dog. Read more...
Hey darlin’
The writing will come. You hang in there.
