The 4th Step

/ Alysia / 2 Comments

No matter how far you’ve gone,
Regardless of how many steps you’ve taken.
One more is monumental.
It is smaller than any of the others but it triggers,
Self doubt, worry, paranoia, panic.
Not the fear of failure but the fear of failing to succeed.

Fortunately success is the only answer, option, and possibility.

Crisis of Creativity

Things I have not been able to do for approximately the last three weeks:

-Get creative for my class projects (a story about a lime green chair deserves a chance)

-Blog creatively (you can pretend otherwise but we both know it’s the truth)

-Edit my current Work In Progress (I hate the working title so that will be my excuse)

Essentially I have been caught in a pool of creative stagnation.

So of course I did what any logical writer would do… I started a new novel. I am not even going to deny that the fact it is set in Vegas is me projecting.

What do you do to get going again?

 

What Do You See?

The sunny disposition of yellow warms the smile.

The red dares you to consider what lays beneath the surface.

Are Red?

or

Are You Yellow?

As you look and look again one of the colors is calling to you.

Will you answer the siren’s call?
