I have been worrying lately about what if I can’t think of any more story ideas? What if I have used up my quota? I haven’t had any ideas jump into my head lately and it scares me…but then I thought of something.
I had set my mind on edit mode. I have set myself in front of my laptop to “correct” previous work. I realized that that is what my brain thinks it’s supposed to be doing when it’s in front of the computer screen. What I realized was I needed to break away from technology for a bit and go back to pen and paper; this is where I feel creative. I am sure once I really learn how to tap in to the creative part more freely then I will be able to write and edit on the computer but my brain still remembers working on the computer and playing with paper. I will slowly reprogram it to create no matter where I am or what medium I am using but today I picked up a pen and started to write and I could feel it starting to flow again. Maybe I will stay “old fashion” and write long hand and edit on the computer or maybe I will be able to let go of old habits and thoughts and retrain my brain so that I can switch up my styles but I do know that today it felt good! Good to write, good to create and good to be back in my flow.
