Uninspired and moving forward

It’s not exactly writer’s block – I’m just feeling a lack of a topic here!  And that in itself is a subject because it happens to all of us at some point and in all sorts of tasks.  I thought about my choices: go and eat and hope that inspiration will strike, skip this post and hope nobody will notice, stare at the screen until something happens or what I’m doing which is closely related to stream of consciousness.  I don’t have time to put it off and yet nothing major has happened.  I thought about writing about balance but if I sound preachy in my own head, I’m unlikely to write it better so thinking I should save that.

I think these dips are natural – I just came off a weekend of intense stuff and trying to fit a lot in and I know I have that coming up again in a few days. In my new era of no excuses I decided that moving forward even if it feels awkward was the best plan.  I’m not entirely convinced. Doing the boring little prep tasks or future chores is my way of powering through them; things like making ear wires for earrings (not inspiring work but it needs to get done at some point) or catching up on laundry so that when inspiration does hit, it’s less of a conflict. It’s all good:-)
