I humbly beseech the universe!


Day 19 and I’m having trouble finding my great topic.  I’d say it really started on Day 17.  Up until then, I was really happy with my choice of topics and doing this slice of life challenge was just fun, something that awaited me and surprised me each day.  It seemed infinite.  Now I’m in the throes of writer’s block, something I’d get annoyed at when my students brought it up too much as an excuse for not writing.

So this is karma.  I’m struggling.  I think it’s really about the topic.  When I think of one that’s one of my go-to life topics, I feel like I’ve been there before.  Don’t feel the need to write about my sister or my niece - been there, done that.  Enough with waiting for spring.  Yeah, I am really waiting for spring.  I need to spring forward and move forward.  Spring will come.  I could write about my reading  - I’m in the middle of two good books, one great. Do you care? Do I care? Shouldn’t I just read? 

Oh dear.  The cursor blinks.  I search. I wait. I humbly beseech the universe:  help!

  1. I felt that way today too.

  2. This is every bit a slice as the rest. It captures this moment in time and it is temporary and it is your truth. Speak it!

  3. Glad to see you're doing your part, sitting down to write daily, which is the bit you can control. The rest amounts to measures of beseeching and alchemy. And probably revision. "Hang in there!" I cheer from the balcony.
