Suffering From Writer's Block!!!

Arrgh!!!!!

I secretly believed that writer's block didn't exist! It is the strangest thing. I want to write but when I sit down the words aren't in my head. The voice I have been hearing for the last year is quiet. What gives me hope is now and then I hear a little whisper.

Writing is a solitary thing to do. No one can help you. They can read what you write and offer advice. No one can write it for you.

I am searching and searching for the answer to my block. I am coming to the conclusion this is the wrong thing to do. I think it is simply where I am at.

I am trying to work on the last part of my book. I think this may be the most revealing and intimate part of my story. It is set in the time after Tia's birth and I am recovering and building my life again. There is healing of my body, mind and spirit. Coming home after months of being away from my family was one of the hardest things I have ever done. It wasn't as simple as here I am, I'm back, now lets get on with it!

Perhaps I need to sit with it all for awhile. I have thought that perhaps I need to go on a retreat. I did find one I was interested in but it is held over Easter. I asked the kids if it was okay if I wasn't home for Easter.

'No! You were away for Easter last year!' was the reply.

'Well, actually that was two years ago,' I said.

'Mummy, we never want you to be away for Easter ever again!' Caelan stated.

A retreat is not to be.

So I will sit with it.I will look inside and the answer will be there.

It always is!
