Hi Anita.. Thanks for the share hehe. The drying up of creativity is certainly a side to it, although my partners illness has detracted somewhat from the pattern of creativity and workflow which was present before this situation arose. I’ve always been a bit on and off with my flow, but even amidst an explicable low, this feels a lot like far from being a dip is somewhat more sustained. The one thing I do know is that whenever I get frustrated by an avenue of creativity my immediate recourse is to switch from one thread to another, say painting to music, sometimes even using that as a deliberate tactic to blindside my stubborn side. Of late, that being the last few months, I’ve had no inspiration or desire to pick anything up with any meaning or intent. Perhaps it is the personal dip, and I can’t see past it for the moment. Also the shift in the regular work routine isn’t helping since there is some upheaval happening and they’re being very non-communicative.. I find I’m just not in a happy place, as if I’m having to just carry on regardless and not really in a place I can be happy or give up on. Truly a trap at present.
