I’m back in the saddle… So to speak!

I’m back!

I’ve struggled the last couple of months with writer’s block. It was something I never thought I would struggle with, but it hit and nothing I did would help. I don’t think my muse was gone, just on vacation. When you put words on paper and then stare at them like they are alien to you, that’s when you step back and take a breather.

Have I written anything? Yes. But only in spurts. I actually have three projects going and some days I would write a little in each one, or just one at a time. A lot of days I didn’t write anything. It was hard on me because I’ve always written something every day. And in some ways, I think it added to my anxiety not to have my out. Writing has always been my calming, but when this mysterious writer’s block swept in like a bad storm, well, it became the thing that made me most anxious.

But after a lot of prayer and time away from my laptop, my muse is flexing its muscles and wiggling its fingers, ready to get back in the saddle. And my mind is once again filled with the story that needs to be written. It’s filled with the possibilities of what could come of an idea. I love the moments of searching out an idea that needs to be continued in the pages of a book.

So, ready or not, I’m back at it.

As always, good writing, and May God Bless You!

Happy 4th of July!
