It's been a while since I visited this blog. Writing, for me these days feels slow and congested. I am still writing, but it is mostly in my head. I wake at two in the morning same as before but my days are so filled with living, that I am more worried about being able to make it through my day with enough sleep than I am about spewing out the stories that are filling my head.

I am one of those writers, who dream my stories. I will visualize my characters going about their experiences, having conversations and interacting with my other characters. I used to write on napkins, in notebooks; I actually have many books and scraps of paper that I wrote my ideas on over the past years. It is ironic that ten years ago words would fall out of my head and spill from my mind like the oil from an eighties Jerry Curl. I allowed the race of life to catch up and overtake me creating a distraction that has congested my creativity. Which has not gone away, just gone to sleep.

I wondered what is hindering my writing? You know, I look out in the world and there are so many books being written these days. People's autobiographies, self-help stories, it seems to me that there is so much information crossing the air ways that there is a part of my which is reluctant to add to this. Now I have told many of my clients that each person's story is important. I am aware that mine is as well. Am I worried of rejection when I write my books? Yes, and I can publish my own books, using many of the tools available to me in the publishing industry. I will go back to the many stories that I have started over the past years and complete them. Set my schedule to each project and see how publish worthy my words are.

Soo... my daughter has set up a schedule for my blog. I am supposed to update this every fortnight. I will keep up with this so that I can unplug my creativity and get the flow going again.
