Time to get Creative - Again

Not sure but I may have finally figured out why I have been stuck and unable to proceed with my book.  The work I have been doing is mediocre. Mediocre is pretty good but not good enough.  The material for my book must be more compelling, more noteworthy, more shareable.

When I conceived the idea I was certain I was creating a work of art that was world-changing, something I could be truly proud to promote.  For a year now every time I told someone I was writing a book I felt like a sleaze bum because my words were not speaking to me so I was certain they would not speak to my readers.  Somewhere along the way I wandered off the creative path.  Who knows (or perhaps who really cares) where I began my detour?  Perhaps I began worrying too much about failure, or perfection, or perhaps and this is quite likely the story, it was because I started living again after Les' death and simply lost the desire to ponder death and grieving.

Still I strongly believe I have something of importance to say.  Now that I have some idea of what is causing me to stall, it is time to start that creative engine running again.  That is the good thing about creating.  I can start again, and again, and again until I am happy with the final results.  So let's begin!
