sorry i've been MIA for a while. there are a few reasons for this: torturous and persistent headaches, a serious medical crisis for one of my best friends and a similar yet less serious medical crisis in my family, a couple of job interviews (neither of which i've heard from) and a general feeling of unease and melancholy.
i struggle with a constant lack of motivation where my writing is concerned. i cannot get my muddled thoughts out in any concise manner and so i just avoid the whole charade. i always write (or not) like this. it comes in strong and crashing waves and then trickles so slowly that i think i may indeed die of wanting. it's like the quote i read years ago, i don't remember who said it, but the writer stated that "i write so slowly that i could write in my own blood and not bleed to death." that's me! i just keep reading and waiting for inspiration.
i'm job-hunting and praying and those activities keep me pretty busy. i listen to a lot of music and try to convince myself that the house doesn't need any straightening...it does. so that's what i do: avoid any work and immerse myself in other people's words and chords and hope that i can hold out long enough to contribute my own.
grace and peace
