What Stops the Creativity?

What causes writer’s block?

What causes artist’s block?

I guess everyone suffers from a “block” of something at some time or other.

My writer’s block started several months ago. Oh, I think up a GREAT blog idea and compose 1 or 2 sentences in my head but when I get in front of my computer BABAM – it’s gone.

My high school friend, Louanne is an artist and she gets the “block” too.

What is it that stops the creativity? I mean really, I’m 61 years old and I know I have tons of more stories in me than I’ve written. More advice, more should’a, could’a, would’a’s, just more of everything.

Here are some ideas of what I think can cause me to stop writing.

1. I’m a Christian, if I don’t prepare myself with prayer and listening to that still small voice, I don’t have anything to say.
2. Time. I put too many other activities before blogging.
3. Coming up with content that is actually worth reading.
4. Distractions. I let life get in the way too often.
5. Becoming too critical of what I’ve written so I just never publish.
6. Letting the criticism of others become too important to me.
7. Procrastination.

What do you think?

A Little Color in My Office

My friend, Ellen, gave me a beautiful picture. I love it. It adds so much color in the office. I look up from my desk and it makes me happy!

Isn’t it gorgeous?

Thank you so much, Ellen!!

For My Family and Friends

I am writing this blog to you with no apologies!

I have found as I have gotten older that I have an urgency. An urgency to make sure you know Jesus Christ and all that His death means to you.

I’m interested in where you are in your faith. Do you have faith? Is your faith where it should be?

I believe our world is winding down. I believe that Jesus will return soon. I believe that a time is coming for you to decide whether you are for Him or against Him. There is no half way, there is no wavering on this decision. And it’s an all or nothing decision.

I will venture to say that everyone of you that has an opportunity to read this post has at some time heard the Gospel – the Good News – the plan of salvation – whatever you call it or whatever you’ve heard it called, I am sure you have heard about Jesus Christ and that He died for you.

If you are wavering in the decision to accept Him for who He is, in the decision in knowing the one true and living God I pray you choose Him.

I will pray – I will talk with you if you want to talk.

Figure it out.

Your future depends on it.
