Things are...sort of all over the place these days. Emotionally, creatively, all of the above. And it's not something specific that I can fix or even figure out what the problem actually IS. I'd call it a funk, but it's a bit bigger and deeper than that. So, I'm basically trying to just muddle through and if sitting on my couch for an hour playing Bejeweled is what it takes, well then, that's pretty much what it takes.
However, I came across another decent Chuck Wendig blog post on being an artist and it was very helpful. Profane, as that's how he rolls, but helpful nonetheless. Check it out here: Defy Reality, Become an Artist.
My favorite bit is: Chasing the market is like chasing starlight: by the time I find the star that made the light, I remember that the light travels slow and that the star is already dead.
Naturally, this idea comes with some provisos, but it helps to reinforce the idea that writing what I want to read is a big part of writing. The rest can always come later.
Happy Monday! ♥
