a little check in.

Wow, I have NOT been feeling my writing these past couple of days. I’ve been somewhat uninspired when it comes to the task of writing each day. There are a couple of pieces that I’ve started and been working on, but they just seem to be missing a little something.

I saw this video the other day talking about how, as a creative, your ideas oftentimes have an expiration date. And as a creative being (which I believe we all are, in some sense) when you have an idea, there is no better time to jot down and execute on that idea than when you are in the moment of inspiration and drive to do so. While I believe it isn’t always as simple as this due to the complexities of execution and rounds of revision that often take place, I definitely took this concept to heart and have used it to drive my writing when I’m inspired, while also taking the time to revisit, revise and sometimes force myself to get something up if that inspiration has been lacking.

I’ve just been in a creative lull these past few days, so am looking to step away and find some inspiration. Don’t worry, daily posts will not be postponed - I’m seeing this one through.

That’s all. Just a little check in.
