This really is the truth, the loss, the pain which if you’re lucky turns into something you continue to be incredibly proud of.

Hey Steph, Namaste 🙂
Indeed, a blood sport with an elegant twist: it’s not the book we chase that ends up suffering: the book only improves the closer we get, but it’s the author who is ripped apart b a pack of wolves whilst screaming for it all to be over 🙂 Oh the joy of words and the love of masochism: who said the two could never meet on the same line?
I don’t know about you Steph, but I often find a distinct void in my life opens up when coming to the end of a prolonged endeavour. It’s like losing a friend, and yet sometimes I just want the effort to be over and the friend gone: it seems a double-edged sword but either way the period is intense. I get to feeling resentful, angered, and browned-off mainly with image creation: perhaps it because they take a while to do and invariably I am tired at the end of writing and do not want to create an image, or cannot recall ideas for images inspired whilst writing.
I agree with the sentiment in the quote, writing is a full-time and weirdly undulating roller-coaster ride of an experience: whether healthy or not, I have yet to determine. If you’ve any tips on keeping your sanity throughout the writing period then please do share lol 🙂
Enjoy your evening. Sweet dreams for when you get to Zzzzz.
Love and Peace. Namaste 🙂

Tip on keeping out sanity…. I’m afraid there’s none of that here… if you fine sanity the muse will escape you. Just stay in your own little world and write your heart out.

Hey Steph, Namaste 🙂
lol 🙂 Excellent….then I shall happily submit to madness like a prophet would on a Full-Moon 🙂
‘Just stay in your own little world and write your heart out.’ I think that’s probably the best advice anyone’s given me Steph. I should pay heed more often: and will do so. Or at the very least make it an honest intention lol 🙂
Thank you 🙂 Well, I’m off to the Land of Zzzzz. I’ve had a bad cold for a couple days so a good night’s sleep before a day at the coal-face would be ideal. I wasn’t in the mood for image making this evening anyway, but at least the last part of my Alkemi series is finished and waitin on artwork to be posted. I cannot tell you the relief that it is all over. It felt a grubby dirty place to write-in for a month or so. But for now, I am as free as a bird and who knows where my flapping wings will carry me next. The adventure is in never-knowing.
Thanks for chatting. Enjoy the latter part of the week with laughter and happiness centre stage on your Play of Life 🙂 Sweet dreams!
Love and Peace. Namaste 🙂
