JUST Take a Deep Breath . . . and Write


This is the tenth post in this April challenge, and it's getting to the point where the end of the month seems so long, long away! I long for another Sunday just to take a break.

Then I remember when I had, what I thought at the time, was a stellar blogging idea - to have daily writing prompts. As you can imagine, that didn't last, though the intent was good - to keep the creative brain in full functioning gear with quick (50-300 word) writing prompts. Unfortunately, I was thinking more in lines of a creative writing site, not a blog.

With that past idea in mind, I have to remember that I can do this challenge. I JUST need to take a deep breath . . .

and write! Surely some days won't be as interesting as others (like today, I figure), while others will be more inspired (like day H).

Today, I am going to JUST take that deep breath, because I am soooo exhausted that I didn't even make it to church last night. And hopefully tomorrow I will be back to my normal, creative self and write!

  2. My dear Nancy, I think the post is interesting in the fact that many feel like you do, me included. I'm trying to keep the breathers at hand now.
    I want to thank you for the gift card. I got it yesterday. And the pic of Los Cabos also fit me well, hahaha.

  3. I hope you did find time to breathe and resettle into yourself to make it through until Sunday when you get to take another break :-)

  8. Sound advice. We all have moments when we're overwhelmed.

  9. I've been feeling that way when it comes to work from my old job kreeping back. I keep procrastinating because I really don't want to do it, but if I don't, it continues to hang over my head so I can't enjoy my writing as much as I'd like to.

  13. Great idea, we can sometimes psyche ourselves out by being too nervous or excited. Got some great e-books with the gift card. Thanks again.

  14. I feel the same way as you do. I have good intentions to blog, but sometimes have a hard time keeping up with it. And other days I feel like I don't have anything important or interesting to say. But it's important to keep writing! I like your post today because it's nice to see that others feel the same way I do!
