The Oddity of Not Writing

« previous entry | next entry »

This coming from me...a person who spends every free second writing. Parenthood demands I take a temporary break right now: readying our home for DS's return in 4 weeks. Changing things around. Breaking down 'triggers'. Though I wake up with purpose, the computers are like magnets and I find myself drawn to them. Then I stand staring at them, yearning. But yearning with an empty mind in that, creative juices simply are not flowing. It's as if, on a cellular level, creativity has shut off. And creativity has been replaced by necessity to do what I have to do.

Weird.

But I'm going with it.

DH and DS on our last visit.

Oh, K., I'm sorry for the sacrifice you're having to make. But it'll be worth it, I'm sure.

Your son is very lucky to have you as his mother. And I'm inspired by your courage and sacrifice.

It's not surprising, and yes, you have to do what you need to.
At least you get nice emails on your computer to read.

I think sometimes the brain can only handle so much, and right now all your energies are going to your family. You're going through a tough time, but you're doing the right things. The creativity will come back when you’re ready. Great pic. Your son looks like he's doing well.

When the muse takes a hike you can't force her to return. Just concentrate on what you have to do for your son. She'll be back shortly.
