Dusting off the pages

Well hello! What a long summer it was, leading to a great Fall (yes, that's punny).

So much has gone through my mind and the busy nature of life swept it under carpets for another day. Now that the chill in the air has chased me back inside, those days are here.

I've started another blog which is an attempt to trace a new project- Life By Numbers- 365-52-12 to 101 in 1001.
That is things I will be doing every day, every week, every month in an attempt to whittle down my 101 things to do in 1001 days list.

Additionally, I have returned to writing. I find sometimes that summer painting season shoves my writing muse out of the picture, and hog ties her to a pipe in the corner until there are no more faces to paint. Now the writing has come back.

The required creative process seems to have changed.

At this time last year I was prolifically writing short stories, some based on prompts. The prompts were amazing.
Right now, not so much. I have inspiration in other ways but that doesn't help me with the writing community I'm part of. I know that reigning advice is to just sit down and write but it just isn't there. How do you make something happen that isn't there?

We'll find out tonight as I write for a very uninspiring prompt. I've pulled in music to help me...actually song lyrics which will serve as transitions for the action and thoughts, maybe. Hopefully. Right now it's all I have. Someone else's words.

Time to test the time honoured advice of "just write".

Maybe my muse is still feeling beat up. Perhaps she needs some Advil and a glass of water to nurse herself back to her previous glory.
Perhaps.
