Just to give proper credit, I arrived at your blog via Ed Dale. Now I’m a fan.
I love the line “Songs…plays…business ventures…they all derive from some mysterious source that isn’t us.” I totally agree with this. One of my favorite examples is the line from Amadeus where Salieri says “It’s like he was taking dictation.”
There were times in the process of writing my yet-to-be-published book “Heavenly Father’s Day” when I felt guilty that I wasn’t making progress. But I agree with Matt that sometimes there are breaks. From my Christian perspective, it’s a matter of “waiting on the Lord.” I also agree with Matt’s statement that it’s a thin line between resistance and waiting. Recognizing the difference is the real trick.
After reading your post, I’m thinking I’m probably in the resistance phase. The book is done, but the grunge work of getting to print–the non-creative part–is the proverbial stone hanging around my neck.
Time to get it together. Thanks for the wake-up call.

I have always operated under the “Just do it” gun and sometimes it works, sometimes not, but it is always better to try. Thinking that horrific outside pressures creates always good art, I think, might be wrong, but it certainly helps us survive. I happened upon your blog today by chance and look forward to reading more. You are an inspirational writer and I look forward to visiting the rest of your pages…
Best,
GiGi

You couldn’t be more correct. During the worst part of my life, which was recent and I’m just starting to come out of, I created my best work and improved many skills. When I reflect on this, all I can do is smile. Things are still hard but I move forward with grace. Thanks for these real words, perfect for this morning.

But first I have to Stumble a few (which is how I got here), but now I’m going to stop. No, really. I’m going to stop. And go write.

Now.

Like, right now.

This is such a powerful post – and, once again, exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thank you.

Also, I have to add, thanks for sharing that you have had a tough time this year. It’s funny, I was surprised when you said that – I’d fallen into this mentality that as a successful author you’d somehow broken through into some sort of Problem-Free Zone where you no longer had a care in the world. (I see how ridiculous that is now that I type it, but I’d unintentionally fallen into that assumption.)

Anyway, thanks for another fantastic post.
