It’s Slow Going These Days

I don’t know what happened.

I was so motivated after the summer. We went on vacation, spent some time away resting and rejuvenating, and I felt like I came home with newfound inspiration.

And then… I never did anything with it?

Lately, it’s been feeling like every day is the same. Like I’m just spinning around in circles, in and out of sleep, chores, work and nothing of importance. And I’m not sure I know why.

Sure, some important things have been going on. My brother’s wedding was just a few days ago, so that’s been in our headlights for a while. And I’ve been trying to meet some deadlines for a couple of short stories I’ve been very excited about. I have a concert with one of my bands coming up in a few weeks, and right after that, I’m going overseas to another wedding.

So yeah, I guess I’m busy, even though it doesn’t feel like that.

I guess the problem is that I’m busy with the wrong things. They’re important things, sure, but it feels like they’re things that keep me from being busy with what I want to be doing. And when I don’t get to do what I want o be doing, I feel like I’m not doing anything at all.

I’m not sure if any of this makes any sense. But maybe writing it down here helps me think it through. Or at least, be aware of why I’m feeling what I’m feeling and thinking what I’m thinking, the next time it happens. Because it’s bound to happen again.

Right now, all I can do is wait for the things I can’t control to be over and done with. Maybe I’ll regain some motivation and inspiration then.

How have you been feeling lately? Staying busy, or in a slump like me? Let me know in the comments!

And as always, I’d love it if you checked out my books.
