When You Have Writer's Block
Hello again and I wanted to talk this time a little about writer's block. Actually it could more aptly be called artist's block. Having had a period this year where it was really difficult for me to work on my website and my blog, I feel well able to address it. It happens to all of us.
My excuse was being too busy with other commitments. I engaged with some volunteer activities that have taken much of my energy in addition to my full time job. While that is a good thing and has given me much satisfaction, I realized that in the process I was losing site of something that is very important to me, which is my love for this website and communicating with all of you.
I enjoy the stories that we've collected on TellOurLifeStories. Last year when we created our first book on Blurb.com, it was a very, rewarding experience for me. And judging from the feedback that I received from you who participated in the book with your stories, it was also very satisfying for you to see your stories in print in our book.
It became more painful for me not to come back to my website, and joyful to come back and contribute with a newsletter to all my newsletter subscribers and more blog posts for you.
I've picked up the book, The Artist's Way, and it is a guide back into the process of regular writing and contributing again. I hope to continue with it and I'll say more about it as time goes on.
For now, I am happy to be back and thank you for reading. I hope that you've continued with your story writing and with believing and knowing that your stories are important and you are the only one who can tell them.
