So. . . if I was headed for the witness protection program, I would be in good shape. I the last 4 months I have gone through radical changes. I cut 11 inches off my hair and donated it to Locks of Love. I sustained an injury that halted my workout routine which led to 10 pounds ( mostly in my hips), I toured the country coast to coast (hence the crochet hook reference, I did a lot of crocheting as I sat in a minivan) and a loved one sustained a massive/ life changing illness and surgery. That is a lot of change in 4 short months. Que the music to I Will Survive (or whatever inspires you), I am back. Ready to confront the things in my life that confound me, inspire me and just plain need to be discussed.
I often hear writers talk about having that block that halts the creative process. I have not experienced that in my life, just the stuff of life which gets in the way of writing. This has been the case, no posts, no new stories, no tweaking existing books. Just stuff in the way. Now I am back, reading on of my finished works, devouring other authors (you know, the published ones) and that little story line that is slowly building in the back of my brain which will some day burst forth into my next work.
It feels like, I've been locked out of Heaven. . . wait that is a Bruno Mars song. No, It feels like the shackles are coming off, the blinders are falling away and the weight is being lifted off my shoulders and I can start again. Working out, writing, growing my hair back, helping loved ones to heal. All things I find rewarding and fulfilling. So welcome back me, it is nice to feel familiar in my skin again.
