I'm Back

It’s been awhile and if you’re a regular reader of my blog, my apologies. I’m sure you got really tired of the 210 entry but I’m back now!! For about a week, at least, I suffered from the worst writer’s block I’ve ever had and it seemed ideas would come to me but whatever I put on paper, er screen, was just sub par. I’d say it was even less than sub par. Things were so bad that the term “writer’s block” just doesn’t cover it. All things creative were cut off. I barely had an idea for subject matter. I’ve never been so frustrated.

I visited “The Way I See It” periodically in hopes of a break in the cloud but nothing. I was dry. My creativity was, somehow, sucked from me in every way. It was a form of depression only in the sense that I was unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Writing called me, it is afterall my release, but I couldn’t answer. In the mean time I read. I read any and everything I could get my hands on and hoped something might spark that fire. You’d think Nicholas Sparks, a fantastic author, might even help…nothing.

But fear not, I’m back. I’m back and the ideas are coming at me faster than I can attempt to get them down. It was the strangest thing I’ve experienced since getting back into the writing game and I’m sure it was a passing phase as well as a chance for growth. I missed writing but if that was a moment of improvement for me, I’ll take it. Growing pains are tough but once you’re on the other side you see that it was all worth it.
