I think I’ve recently hit a slump. A writer’s block, as it’s called. I have plenty of material floating around in my head on a daily basis, but have somehow lost the creativity to put it on paper. Trust me, in my line of work you never run out of things to write or talk about. Especially with a blog named “The Musings Of An Angry Woman”. But ever since I released my book, it’s like my mind is telling me it’s time to take a break and concentrate on other things. I read the books. I watch the videos. I listen to the podcasts. Still…not inspired.
Maybe it’s because it is the time of year where I just want to be outside with my garden. I believe that we all have our seasons of creativity. Where we excel and create to our heart’s content. Maybe winter is my season. I’m not fond of winter. But I find that I’m more creative in my writing and journaling during the months I am forced to spend indoors.
I am a Type A personality. I have a need to conquer whatever it is I dive into. Maybe I’m just forcing it because of my need for perfection. Maybe I need to just sit in silence and let things happen as they may. Even though it will drive me crazy at first.
I feel rushed. Like there’s something inside of me telling me to get it done. Keep the ball in motion. Don’t lose speed. Get off your ass and do something about it! My self-talk can be nasty at times. I fear failure. I know that if you do what you dream of doing, there is no such thing as failure. But to me, doing something half-baked is a recipe for just that. Who wants to put in all the work in making something happen, and then just sit there and wait? I find it impossible!
As I go through this time, please be patient with me. I feel I am on the verge of something great. But I’m not accustomed to greatness, and therefore have little or no experience in it. So if I hop on here and just ramble on at times, know that I am still actively working on my passions and will be back full force in the near future. Peace and love to all.
