Unfortunately, my second distraction has been health. I am currently working on bouncing back from a prolonged illness. While finally starting to feel better, I have no energy!
All of that said, the nagging continues. The blessing and curse of being a writer-- when you don't write, its like an itch in your head. And it isn't just that I stopped blogging... unfortunately I haven't written a single sentence of fiction in the last six months.
And so now that I am finally feeling like I am getting back on my feet, it is time to get back on the keyboard as well.
This is, by far, the longest writing hiatus I have taken in my life and so I am spending today (part of a couple of weeks off of work to recouperate), to sort through and figure out what project to focus on.
So a question for all of you writers out there-- how do you dive back in?
Welcome back. I've missed you! After a summer of a cross-country move and kids at home, I can only tell you this... diving back in is the only way. The water might be cold at first, but you'll get used to it and then enjoy yourself. Ok, I might have taken the "dive back in" analogy too far, but it's best to just start typing. When you have a passion for writing, as I know you do, it'll come back quickly. Wishing you the best!!
