So, yes, late again, and, to boot, disappointed in myself. Not only because of being late, but because I can't seem to find the rhythm I had writing before we left. Not. One. Word. And, the feeling/question I have is, what is my purpose? All my life I have had a purpose. I've heard this is what happens when one reaches a certain age, so maybe I'm right on schedule. I feel so unmotivated, and yet, when I ask myself do I want to stop writing all together, my body seizes up and my eyes bug out. So visceral a feeling of "Oh No!"
How do I make peace with myself about this? Both my husband and I are feeling the after vacation blues and wondering what do we do now? It's not like we don't have things to do! We do. Just... something is missing.
I will leave it there and move on to more important matters like IWSG co-hosts and visiting and... and I don't know what else, yet. Whew.
Please visit them and thank them for helping out this month!
I won't be answering this month's question. Instead I wrote the above questions and will endeavor to answer them at least by next month, I hope...
We're all late sometimes. You showed up and that's what counts. :)
ReplyDeleteAllow yourself a little time to get back in the groove. Or to find a groove. Sometimes life just is and we need to take the time to just be instead of feeling like we need to constantly be moving forward or producing content.
My husband and I are slowly moving into a new phase of life and while I'll write some, I know I'll have to fill it with something.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry! I'm sure I'll feel weird when I no longer go to a job. I plan on a long list of things to do to keep me busy.
ReplyDeleteDon't be so hard on yourself about taking a break from writing. We all get unmotivated sometimes. My motivation hasn't been great since the spring but I keep at it. I think you'll pick up your writing again. You already know you don't want to quit. I have faith your husband and you will figure out your purpose/what to do too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry it's been a rough creative time. Sending you all the good writing thoughts for the rest of the month!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being late because so am I. I still haven't commented on half the blogs I usually do. As to the rough creative patch...we all have 'em. I can't count the number of times I've "known" I'd never write a decent sentence again. Well...I hope I've proved myself wrong.
ReplyDeleteI was late too and I've also been struggling to get back into the writing groove. I think writing is a habit and I've gotten out of the habit and need to get back into it.
