A few bumps in the road this week have me, finally, feeling back to myself. I am immersing in some creative projects
(this site of course, 2 writers groups a new Poetry Open Mic and, still my poetry book).
Also I got a lot of stuff done around the house which always makes me hopeful.
Sometimes the best creative inspiration I come across is clearing out clutter, cleaning away the dust bunnies and keeping things that light me up! Lately I have been finding photography and all things pretty to be the most inspiring. Currently working on a writing assignment for my Writers Group I am finding myself a bit stuck for words trying to convey just the right meaning. So I am doing something I hate to do-let it sit and come back to it bit by bit. It seems to laborious, so methodical and not at all the fun creative stuff I like to write. Normally I just wouldn’t write it but this storyneeds to be told. Whether I will be able to share it is another. I am giving myself permission not to share it because I already started editing out parts I wasn’t ready to reveal and where is the authenticity to that? No, I need to write with abandon and perhaps, someday, share the actual story.
What work has forced you to bare your creative soul recently and how did you manage it?
