Welcome another fine October week at the Writing Table!
This time of year, sticking with goals, showing up for our writing and paying ourselves first can be very challenging! I found
myself feeling the frustrations of the writing process and my energy level this afternoon on my walk. (Then I remembered that I had a covid vaccine and a flu shot yesterday - duh!)
As writer Joe Bunting says, everyone hits these challenging points where we just don't fee like writing. It's normal, and we can find ways around those feelings.
Bunting gives five suggestions for how how to face those feelings. They are strategies very consistent with the ones we talk about each day at the Writing Table!
It's worth the effort to show up one more day. When you stick with it, good things often come just after the tough feelings.
