I started this blog 16.5 years ago – and one of the things I learned early on was that the key to making it work, day in, day out, through writers block and manic creative bursts, was to write to a schedule; whether it was a couple times a day or twice a week, just write, even – maybe especailly – if it was krep.
This past few months my cycle has been more “block” than “maniacially creative”. It’s been a busy, exhausting couple of months for a variety of personal reasons – most of them very good, but pretty taxing.
I’ve been though the cycle often enough to know it’ll pass; I doubt I’ll ever feel the creative doldrums like i did in 2011, after throwing myself neck-deep into writing about the 2010 gubernatorial race and coming out completely exhausted.
But you know what they say – the first step is admitting you’re overstretched and exhausted!
Much more to come.
