A List.
. . .
1. I’m an artist. A writer. A teacher. Feelings of paralyzed inspiration are, unfortunately, just par for the course.
2. I’m tired. While my terror-filled nightmares have made way for frustrating-scenario-type dreams in recent years, I still ain’t gettin’ much rest. Please. I just want one night without a cerebral shit-show.
3. I’ve got too many wires. Internet everywhere. Calls. Texts. Newsfeeds. Emails. Insta-whatever. Zoom meetings. How is a person expected to keep up?
4. The news.
5. Unrealistic expectations are eating my sanity. And it’s my own doing. I’m constantly judging myself. Clean the house! Exercise! Purge all of the clothes, books, and trinkets you no longer use! Post a blog! Work on your novel! Paint! Relax! Why won’t you relax, Snap?

I’m trying, love.
24 hours sometimes seems like nothing at all.

Number 5 is a real toughy. I deal with it every day, myself. When I sit down at the computer to write, I do a quick meditation first, only about five minutes at the most to tell myself to just write what I can and be satisfied with it. More often than not, it works.
