Keeping on Track

It's a funny thing this writing lark - the creative energy sometimes seems endless and productivity flows and this could go on for months and you write a lot only to find that you come to a point where you feel stuck in a valley of non-writing and you don't write or dare I say even feel the need/urge. I've lost sight (a bit) and I'm seeing this as a temporary set-back or more appropriate am on a (writing) break. On the rare occasion when this happens, I can only allow myself the resting space in my head.

Even though I'm on a break, I'm still keeping my journal entries going - easy to do - as these personal words won't be viewed. I am also reading a lot and the current political news is distracting me. While I'm on a break, my mind is ticking over with a bit of short story plot here and a creative idea there and it feels ok. Should I be feeling guilty? I don't think so...
