Sacred Life Sunday: Writer's Block

Never have I had less of a desire or ability to write. The word well is dry, has been for some time. Occasionally I'm able to scrape together a few phrases, but it feels like the slow burn of exercise after sitting on my ass for months. My effort is leaden, strained and I'm easily winded. Unless I keep at it, I'm afraid I'll never regain my strength or improve.

I have also neglected adding new Sacred Life Sunday participants to the current list. Please accept my apologies. I promise to catch up this week!

Blessings to all...

i am so right there with you, my friend. it's 11:23 pm sunday night as i write this and the monster writing sludge has been visiting my corner of the world for the last week as well. i'm ready to banish him (or is it a her?) this upcoming week. i look forward to reading your muse. mine, too. love you! ~l

I'm there too, Carla. It's good to see you, though, however you turn up. xxoo, O

And here I was thinking it was just me who couldn't bring herself to write more than a grocery list the past few weeks! I feel better knowing I'm in good company. Perhaps it's a form of flu going around? The writers block bug! We can only hope it will pass quickly with a bit of rest and hot tea sipped under the covers.

The mind is a muscle too...so it is important not to over do things just because you think you should be able to reach farther, jump higher or run faster than you are Today. Just keep breathing and take care of that muscle, because it's connected to your beautiful heart.

I've been through that several times - where the words are just not there - or even worse, things I don't want to say. :)

I've got to get back to SLS and will starting next week or so. (I post Sacred Life Sunday on Wednesday, if that is when the message feels right.)

Sometimes we do have to sit back and let things ruminate though. Sounds like that is what you're doing.

Maybe its less like a flu and more like a phase of the moon - like last month when 4 small business owners all declared they needed jobs to pay for their businesses and a week later they were back on track! I hate writer's block...

Hello, I surfed my way to your blog - can't remember where I started but anyway, no matter I will visit again. Just thought I'd mention a wonderful book to dispell those writer blocks: Julia Cameron's "the Artist's Way A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity." It's wonderful!

i am feeling that myself. after a month of poetry, am starting to feel stale, words are not coming and am considering taking a wee break in may or at least posting much more sparodically ... maybe there is something in the bright spring air? :) xo

I totally hear you, Carla! Lately, there has been so damn much stuff going on in my life. I used to blog religiously; now I realized that I haven't blogged in 5 days. I'm working through some similar things with my art. There is nothing more painful than dry spells. Tomorrow is a new day though and a chance to do things differently. Sending you lots of love and light...

Hey Carla, just wanted to drop by and say hello since it's been awhile. My blog posts have dropped recently too. Life is pulling me in many directions right now...and I'm just going with it. Reminds me that everything is seasonal...so perhaps this is the winter of my blog's life? I think better to be authentic than to force it though, don't you? Love, Beverly
