I write so many posts in my head, mostly while I'm driving. (At least, I'm not texting, right?)
Somehow, real life and a real job writing (even if it is kind of a writers' sweatshop) seems to edge out this place where writing is free and tamed only by my own self copy editing and your (mostly) kind comments.
Real life--lacrosse games for one, drama practice for another, and "could you put some money in my account?" for the other one--seems to take up a good bit of non-working time. And, I decided to read more.
And, I cleaned out our closet--organized it, actually.
And, the not writing is not working.
It's not easy to find the time or inclination to write/blog when you have to write for a living, I can attest to that! Many times I feel mentally spent by the time I can sit down leisurely in front of the computer to write something that isn't fulfilling someone elses agenda but unfortunately the bills must get paid and therefore the stories must be written-LOL!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see we haven't lost you completely, you have been missed!

How I can relate. I write for a living and lately I've had little time to write for the blog, which I really enjoy. So much going on. Are you enjoying the book about Queen Elizabeth? That's on my to-read list. :)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel. I think this winter has been a bit of a mess for a lot of us. I have had trouble focusing :O(
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of Downton? I did a little Downton piece on my blog today!
I know how you feel! I started a new/old job last week after almost 1/2 year at home with the kiddos. I feel like I'm losing that blogging spark as I too write only in my head to and fro!
ReplyDeleteThinking about throwing a blank journal in my handbag to jot down some quick thoughts that will hopefully reinspire the moment when i find 5 minutes to sit down at the computer!
I think that's the way it is with anything that is not 'for fun' but for work. I used to complain to my cousin that she never called me or wanted to talk when I called her. She said it's because she was on the phone all the time for her job. I do understand this. I like to make cookies and bake but strictly on my time and at my whim. When I am baking for an order it's almost drudgery even for friends. I call this the 'artist mentality.' So much more fun to be creative when the mood hits other than meeting deadlines. Kind of takes the entire love of whatever we like to do out of it even when we can do it on our time. The mojo will return.:)
