I had a very busy weekend about which I could write, but I’m not in the mood. I have new crafting ideas about which I could write, but I’m not in the mood. I need to write blog posts, but I’m not in the mood.
There’s something about only doing something for which you’re in the mood. What could that thing be? What do I want to do after an introvert’s busy, people-filled weekend? What is that thing for which I’m in the mood?
I want to plug in Pandora, my Twinkle Bell station, and then I want to write. Not about my weekend or crafting ideas or those things that would be of interest on a blog. I want to write things I want to write. Write things no one will see. Maybe revise my novel-in-progress. I want to listen to the soothing music and write, write, write.
And I’m writing…about anything I want to…about nothing I don’t want to.
Until I fall asleep.
Sara been there done that a thousand times. I start of feeling the muse and end up chasing her till the end of the day and then I am too tired to use my brain….But I get up the next day and try again my friend, Good luck with it and most of all enjoy it when you are FULLY in the mood.
Thanks, Kath. I’m in a very weird place right now, between winter and spring, on the cusp of summer. It all stresses me out. I feel like I’m not making any headway in my creative or everyday life. I appreciate your encouragement!
Nothing gained by forcing creativity.
You are so right, Lucie. However, it appears to me from your blog that you are a never-ending force of accomplishment. How do you do it?! I’m in awe.
