It's a new year...

I know I've spent some time here complaining, but I think I'm over that for the most part. Overall, I'm pretty content with my life. I know I'm making healthy choices and keeping nearly all of the "negative vibe merchants" out of my life. {What I mean by that is that I am no longer giving other people permission to drag me down with them...As someone who is empathetic, I have adopted other people's negative thoughts and attitudes. This especially plagued me in my 20s & 30s. I can't allow this in my life anymore. It has felt good accept responsibility for myself over these last couple of years I have implemented this.}

I'm currently wondering if I will find my creative spark again. It felt like I was really connecting with parts of myself I normally couldn't when I used to write. Naturally, for me, it was partly working in collaboration with others that I felt the most at home. Being part of a team is frustrating, rewarding, fulfilling and fun experience all in one. If it gets too intense and dysfunctional, it can ruin something mystical and good.

I know my personal mental block is 2 prong: 1) working far from home means less time at home to give towards creative ventures; 2) I have been forgetting/neglecting Sinclair's best and most accurate advice on the subject: "apply seat to chair and write!"

It's a new year, a new frame to work with. I'm hopeful I will keep my mind limber enough to be here a couple of nights a week. [Or, if not here, at least go into Word, and capture ideas, story lines, snapshots of scenes.]

I wish you all well and hope your creative muses are truly inspirational.
