My muse is back!


Yes, it’s been forever since I posted and I feel like a stranger at my own blog.  So much has happened in the last couple of months, I think it’d make anybody’s head spin.  I’m not going to go into what all it did to my head.  You’re welcome.  J
My muse was lost, okay, that is part of what happened in my head but that’s all I’m going to admit to.   I would sit down at the computer, look at the empty word page and my brain would freeze.  I swear, it was better than any meditation I’d ever done.  Maybe writer’s block isn’t so bad.  Yeah… no.  I couldn’t even think of what to write while I was driving, doing homework, spending time with the kids, it was truly awful.  I even tried to sit down and just start typing what came into my head, like I did just now.  (Oops, did I really type that?)  When words won’t fall out of my fingertips, I know I’m in trouble.
Then one day, I went to court and finalized my divorce.  Finally.  Before I left the court building, all I could think about was getting back home to the computer to write.  Ideas started flooding my head for a paper that was a month past due.  I was actually able to read and digest homework assignments and completed my mid-term project in a matter of a few short hours.  So, with my muse back and anxious to exercise my brain, it only makes sense that I come back here to share it with you all.
Time is still at a premium for me, but by the middle of April, my two huge projects for school will be over (whether I complete them or not) and I’m looking forward to making writing something that isn’t an essay a part of my life again.
Here’s hoping and praying you are all well and happy, and thanks for reading!
