Perpetual Ruminations

Missing Mojo

Day three, I really am on a roll. It will be a short one, since I'll be heading out Thursday for five days of camping and won't have internet, but I'm hoping to really get back into the site after we return; blogging, reading and reviewing, and hopefully some writing. I really do need to get some reviews written, especially for the fine folks who have been reviewing my items.

It has been a very long time since I've done any writing, which is not normal for me. Sure, I have my periods of inactivity and even some writer's block from time to time, but never for this long. For me, writing isn't a hobby, it's a part of who I am and how I think. I am an introvert and writing is my main outlet.

It's difficult to explain. We all need our down time and find it in different ways. For me, to get away means I lose myself within myself and my writing. I'm one of those people who's mind is always active, thinking about all sorts of stuff all the time. things that need to be done, problems, solutions, etc... I enjoy many different activities, but even while doing them, my mind continues to be bombarded with all these thoughts. But, when I write I turn inward and for a while there is nothing but the story running in my mind.

This has always been the case, even as a young child, I could weave the most fantastic stories. Fictional stories told so well, some of my teachers had to consult my parents to find out if it was just a story or reality.

No writing for this long goes beyond having a rough spot, it goes beyond writer's block...I've lost my Inspirational Mojo!
