I kind of enjoy the emptiness, hoping it gives me energy for the rest of the year - to get started, to finish something, to meet the deadlines. I hope that you will have an energy and inspiration boost to live and love the change and writing.Terje https://www.blogger.com/profile/13569210226711674834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058349215223700929.post-47666241656275658272012-07-05T14:37:40.344-04:002012-07-05T14:37:40.344-04:00I've been going around and around like this to...I've been going around and around like this too - wondering why I feel like all the thoughts I have in my head aren't worth writing down.

I wasn't sure I'd make it to write, but here I am, laying on the couch with an icepack on my neck, writing. (First I wrote my slice and now I'm reading others.)<br /><br />I admire what you said about setting a deadline. That's what I do, so often, when I really want/need to get something done.Staceyhttp://raisealithuman.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058349215223700929.post-26294918210265396312012-07-03T21:22:39.363-04:002012-07-03T21:22:39.363-04:00Diana,

The term has stayed with me all these years. Your inner turmoil is actually quite normal. Most of our writing takes place in our heads. We need to roll ideas around until they're ready to pop out and spill across the page. Loved the honesty in your piece.

I have been just procrastinating or working on other of life's things so much lately, that the writing hasn't been flowing. Hope you get your spark again after this _____ post...I have a word I want there and can't think of it...like "appropriate", "timely"...no, not that. The words are just flowing! Maybe I'll think of it after I hit publish.Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.com
