I enjoy writing poetry far more than reading it. I’m just learning the rules and find I break them more often than not. But the real work will be behind the scenes on the editing and transforming of writing already done and needing attention. Guess it’s time to hit up the library and start reading everything I can get my mitts on, too.

Hope all is well with you. Miss seeing you around. Anne Bender´s last blog ..Getting Down to the Business of Writing

I’m in somewhat of a creative funk at the moment too, but I try not to be too hard on myself and neither should you. Brilliance often springs forth when you least expect it as long as you keep searching for it.

Clogging your creative process with self-doubt serves only to be less connected with the purity and authenticity of your creative soul. That doesn’t mean you should not honestly reflect on the quality of what you produce, but I think it should be akin to a guided flow instead of a self-imposed barrier.

You are NOT ruined, just still searching.

First, you got the title wrong; it should have been “Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy.” lol

Second, you’re correct, writing the blog isn’t as hard as publicizing it. However, in some instances it’s actually fun publicizing one’s blog. I love reading other blogs and commenting on them, and if it helps spread the word about myself it’s all good. Sure, like many others I’d love to have some big numbers. But I’ll take what I get for now.

I would be so happy if someone get to say ‘feel free to be “YOU”’! Indeed, it takes a lot of courage to do so. Heather, I think you’ve worked out well so far. This post was like 3 months ago, you have gradually built up your traffic and audiences — a great preparation for any sponsorships that are bound coming your way. Have you been reaching out to some too while you’re at it?

Comment on I’m starting to understand why The Buk drank by jan geronimo

Nobody came unannounced for me at 3am looking hot and all that. I’m more familiar with being stumped by emotionally stirring places. Makes you ask yourself. What is it now?! A visit or a visitation? But that’s a weak complaint. Writing gives you a second chance to make things right. If only on paper. After the fact.

You are so right, Ching! You’d think at my age I’d know. But I spent so many years not trying, that my trying muscles are atrophied and in need of exercise. I think it might help to look back over activities and pursuits that have brought us joy and satisfaction and look for common themes.

I think that’s fantastic, Madz! At least you were able to complete a short story from start to finish. I’ve yet to do that. I am unfamiliar with the format. But, like you, I am curious and may attempt one someday.

I need to get out of this mindset of having wasted so much of my time and so many of my years on fruitless pursuits. It’s making me not want to try anything unless it has the potential to lead to something that will start a career or bring me some moola. That is the wrong mindset when it comes to creativity. We have to believe that it’s not a waste of time, and that we are not wasting our time but rather learning. Learning what we are not good at, and what we don’t want is just as good as learning the opposite.

Sorry for the tangent, there! And YES we should most definitely blame those P50 people! Not kidding! lol

I wouldn’t say that’s bad, it’ll be great to discover new things about yourself all the time until you found the real passion that you’re going to make it a long, lasting effort. You never know. Ching Ya´s last blog ..Art Of Communicating in Social Networks

As for me Heather, I am encouraged by the short stories of Holly recently to write my own. I had already written one. Then I tried to write again yesterday that I find myself hanging and just ended it with “to be continued..”, LOL!

And while on my way home, I am also thinking that my story sucks! That I don’t want to continue it at all, that I should have not posted that one, he he he.

Should we blame our P50 group for this feeling? Kidding!

Thanks so much, Eric! Sorry I haven’t been around much. I’m stepping back from blogging for a while to practice some other forms of writing. Hope all is well with you.
