The important thing is to keep trying until you're happy with it.

I walk away or take a break. Mostly, I feel I sometimes pressure myself to do too much in the creative arena and when I feel overwhelmed by myself I just stop for a few days, a few hours, whatever it takes to actually want to do it again. <BR/>KarlaSugar Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493005423891531330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-79708880372233488572008-07-10T13:09:00.000-04:002008-07-10T13:09:00.000-04:00I sure can relate to another great post.

And I also figure I can only do so much right now because of other pressures and obiligations so I try to not put so much guilt on me when I just want to sit and read or do nothing. I figure we need it when we let ourselves relax.<BR/>I do Love your posts my friend!<BR/>xoxoxooxoxBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908610001765757691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-59613377493087962532008-07-10T12:37:00.000-04:002008-07-10T12:37:00.000-04:00Oh I think too much, too!

I'm always writing in my head and somehow never find the time to put it to paper...but also like you, I often knit or something that requires less REAL thinking and of a repetitive response like knitting.

I try not to panic, and then spend some time doing something totally different. <BR/><BR/>Your comments about the way you approach "lulls" in your artistic interests were fascinating to me. I find I have similar times when music is just so unrewarding, and I have to steer clear of the keyboard for a while.<BR/><BR/>And yes, blogging is a great jump starter!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623887166087444590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-88307929441732483782008-07-09T18:05:00.000-04:002008-07-09T18:05:00.000-04:00Time is always the key but I do like the control y...Time is always the key but I do like the control you mentioned. ;)Tammy Brierlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673290512175050093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-47307643613217649052008-07-09T15:56:00.000-04:002008-07-09T15:56:00.000-04:00Yes, there are always so many other things in the ...Yes, there are always so many other things in the way that prevent you from writing, from sticking to it.
