Blockage

I'm a litle bummed out with myself for not writing in my journal while we were camping. I honestly didn't even have time to THINK about it. I didn't even think about work at all while we were gone, either.

I had visions of sitting on a rock overlooking the lake at sunset and reconnecting with my writer self. I even scoped out the perfect spot on our first day there. But it didn't happen.

I've been away from it for so long that I've built up this huge wall of self-doubt and it's psyching me out. I figured journaling would be a great way for me to get my feet wet again before diving back into poetry & short stories. I just don't know where to begin.

When I had this problem a few summers ago, that's when I started reading The Artist's Way for the first time. It actually helped me pinpoint the origins of my doubt & trepidation…but I still didn't write anything other than my daily pages. I'm wondering if I should dig it out and give it another try – and hope it helps me to replenish my creative fount.
