I confess, I’m just not feeling very inspired today. I’ve spent pretty much all morning and most of this afternoon waiting for something to come to me – a poem, a funny quip, even a good picture to take – and you guys, I got nothing.
This happens.
This especially happens, at least to me, after a vacation. Anybody else? And any ideas to kickstart creativity?
Coming off of time away, it’s just sort of hard for me to get back into the swing of things. My brain’s just not in it. But it’ll get there! So, in the meantime, I shall ponder ideas for July’s short story, and hopefully come up with something more interesting to write on Wednesday. And Friday.
Sigh.
A Virginia Writer's Diary 
As a writing teacher once said to me (tongue well in cheek I hope): If you have nothing to write about, write about nothing. I can’t tell you how many poems I have written about the various concepts of nothing.

It’s next on the list after the kitchen, which I think should be starting really soon. It will be fun to write about!

Think of it like coming in from outer space or the ocean depths: Decompression is part of the return to earth process and absolutely essential for your survival.

I think the way to tackle a creative block is to read. Read and drink coffee until your mind starts buzzing. Then create. It works for me! Though I’m sure other writers use different approaches to tackle these things.

I love that! I like to pick up a book of short stories and have a cup of coffee, as well.

After a vacation, it takes me about a week to get back into my regular routine. It’ll come, Katie.
