And returning to the keyboard after a long break?
I’ve written about the Summertime Blahs, but what does one do about the winter blues or the publication blues?
Yep, you heard right. In November I finished and published my latest children’s picture book, and then the holidays took over what was left of my energy.
And now I’ve got the blank page (or screen) syndrome.
This isn’t anything new, not for me. If you are a long time follower, you know this is a yearly ritual. However, each time I’m faced with it, I am surprised. Weird, right? When I’m in the writing zone, I think I’ll never stop. But then…
Brain fog settled in.
One thing that has helped me before, was reading. Reading everything. Good, bad, great, and mediocre. So I’ve spent the last couple of months reading three to four books a week. Didn’t help.
So…
- I’m visiting some of my favorite bloggers.
- Playing with a few writing prompts.
- And giving my brain a good talking to.
- Looking at some of my previous posts and trying to take my own advice. LOL
Tell me. How do you get back in the writing saddle? To create when the lightening of inspiration is lacking?
I appreciate any tips or suggestions you’ve got. Because I’m still stuck.
In the meantime, pop over and read this post by Lucy Mitchell. It gave me something to think about. WHEN STRUGGLING WITH YOUR WRITING ALWAYS THINK – CATERPILLAR & THE BUTTERFLY!
I’m a butterfly, a butterfly…
