While I can't make all the stressors go away, I'm following Colleen Thompson's advice and refilling the well. I'm reading a little more and writing a little less. I'm watching the movies I missed at the theater over the last two summers, and re-watching my favorite sitcoms.
And I'm jumping ship on my book schedule and working on a couple of projects I hadn't planned, just to shake things up in my brain a little.
Hopefully, this will jump start the creative process again.
(P.S. That book the stormtrooper is checking out? Excellent!)
I had to expand the image. Funny book title.
ReplyDeleteGood post, too. You've got so much going on that it's easy to get out of whack. Here's hoping the new way works out and gets you refilled.
What can I say? I like Star Trek parodies. *grin*
DeleteI'm hoping a change in routine will shake things up, too.
Usually when I get stuck, Stu Rat, I do exactly as you suggest and change my environment. Even little move, like going from the living room to the family room with my laptop, can do wonders. I'm glad in your case your bosses were cool about you needing a break. I'm just at that point where my regular tricks aren't working.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions!
I think it's pretty cool you used to design houses! And don't take the family's actions personally. They may have decided your relationship was more important to them. Family coming to me for professional advice when I practiced law never ended well. LOL
