Jax's Artistic Journey...

This is one of my favorite holidays but this year I've promised myself that I would write and get my proposal done...the one that never ends...before I can enjoy any more days off. It's a tough project and I am committed to getting it finished no-matter-what!

Which leads me to committing myself to laying off the internet except for research reasons this weekend ... maybe parts of next week. However, I will only be online to post on blog days at various places but I am going to buckle down and avoid everything and everyone otherwise. Drastic times calls for drastic measures so I'm grounding myself...sort of.

Wish I was going to some kind of fancy party--ooh, I love dressing up--but I'll be okay about missing all the fun this year because it will be a party for me when I can finally shut up about my proposal and totally brag that "I SENT IT OUT".

Watch me.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN. Please be safe and have fun. Just stay away from the vampires and werewolves this year!

I've been in a funk more than usual. Some days I'm so into my writing and then all of a sudden I find myself hitting that wall.

Frankly, it's frustrating and a bit annoying.

My friends tell me I'm just overwhelmed. I think they're nuts! I'm perfectly balanced....but seriously, I think we all go through a mental hiatus whether we like it or not. I, however, think that my momentum has dropped due to my environment. That's for my 'tell-all' book when I hit it big..

This weekend I'm doing a mini writing retreat and I plan on getting as much written as possible to make up for lost time. I'm starting to feel good about things and I'm sure with my buddy and her tough-love practices, she'll kick me back into shape. Hopefully my momentum will increase and I'll be back on track. I really don't have a choice. It's sink or swim time and I'm prepared to take those long broad strokes back to Creative-ville!

So, what do you all do when you've lost your momentum? How do you pick it back up? Inquiring minds want to know....
