Magic.

As I'm sure you've been able to tell by reading any of my posts from the last 3 months or so, I've lost my mojo.  My juju.  My creative chutzpah.  Some people call it writer's block, but I've always thought of that as wanting to write something and not being able to.  I simply haven't wanted to write. 

When I moved here I promised myself I would at least take the time to write on the days I've had off, and I have stuck to that, though sometimes I'm a few days late. But the forcing myself to write has really just led to several months of weak (sometimes whiny) posts.

I do believe though, that writing something - anything - is better than nothing.  It's a way of clearing the cobwebs, shifting stuff around, and making room for when that creative spark comes again.

I've had a lot going on, and I let myself get beaten down.  I lost faith, and I lost the desire to write.  But the spark's still there, somewhere.  It's dimmed, but it's not out.

Bear with me.  I can feel it coming back.

Love,
Tara
