I've been on a serious reading binge and I've been in a writing slump. Then I thought about something Carolee wrote. She wrote about her husband reminding her she's been writing daily regardless of NaPoWriMo. And while I'm not writing poetry, I am writing daily. I am putting my thoughts and feelings in print. Not blogging daily (and feeling guilty), but I'm writing. It occurred to me that if I'm journaling daily, I can, I will get to writing creatively again.
Moving on to other confessions. There's a lot of clutter in my life: emotional and physical stuff. Today, I started clearing the physical crap believing I've got to start somewhere. Cleaning this morning actually felt good. I need to clear some crap out so I can do more writing. Has anyone else felt that physical clutter, mirrors internal clutter and that clutter clogs your creativity?

clutter definitely clogs my creativity! at least 90% of the time, during 90% of the writing stages. there are rare times, though, when i can write no matter what. when i'm in the zone. which i'm not. i wrote about a tornado of a mess in my own house right now for my confessions. :)
glad you are taking time to credit yourself for your journaling!!!
OMG, yes. And I live with a lot of clutter. Home, work. My hubby gets me to try to de-clutter most of the public spaces of the house. But the private areas. OMG. I am a disaster.
The attic is in serious need of intervention. I need to sort my papers. I need to get my desk in order. But I get off on tangents, big time. I can never finish one project.
What is that like?
He (or she) who wants to write must let the grass grow long.
Who said that? Besides messy me?
I'm a clutterholic. A clutter blossomer. Then I push it all under the bed.
Journaling is great! The seeds of future creative pieces, or creativity as an end result.
