Life has a way of slowing down the creative process sometimes. I don’t write as much anymore. I don’t get out to do photography hardly ever. I feel stuck. True, this tends to happen to me in the hot summer months; I dread going outdoors at all, so trips to the gorgeous cemeteries become few and far between. It can be difficult to hunker down in cozy blankets on a dark, rainy day to write macabre poetry when it is bright, humid, barely rainy, and hotternhell every day. It’s daylight outside until goddamn 9pm, too. Not easy to embrace the night when you’re in bed before sundown. I admit: I have hit the summertime slump.
What’s a creepy girl to do? I feel like I’ve fallen so far behind on all my upcoming creations that I may never publish anything again. (Alright, so we all know that’s not true.) Still, I published my last book just before Christmas of ’23 and I just now, TODAY, submitted the copyright forms. I have always copyrighted my books asap. This time, I took six months. That is quite un-Libra-like.
Believe me, I want to do better. I want to write daily, and create lots of spooktacular content for you all. Life is just…a lot. Don’t get me wrong, I love the new day job. I do. It just consumes much more of my brain space than any other job has in the past. It’s a career, not just a “job.” I find myself thinking about work with the frequency that I used to think up story ideas. My quiet moments seem to be leading my brain towards work-related situations and solutions rather than creation of spooky things. It’s a strange territory, and I have yet to understand how to expertly navigate the terrain.
Thank you, my lovelies, for sticking around through my shitty slumps as a blogger. I adore all (three) of you. Truly. Forgive my transgressions, and trust me when I say you have not seen the last of your beloved Twisted Libra! Summer has to end sometime, right?
