Does it exist? I think most of us would say yes! I feel like the tide is extremely low and a fog bank has settled over my harbor. I am sorting through things, trying to figure out where my creative self will go. What can I hide in the china cabinet, in my tins so I can have a make shift creative spot, a place to be expressive. I talked to Mom last night, she seems to think there is no rush. Maybe, maybe not, but two parties did a walk through yesterday. The house wasn't even listed for a day. There is no way to know; we have to start making plans. I told her to make a list of what she would want to bring. She asked, how much space she would have. Her room is the largest bedroom in the house. I will measure and tell her for sure. She slept in it, when she was here last. Our daughter was next in line to get it. She honestly doesn't want it, the closet size is too small. She wants her closet and his room, lol. She will end up in the FROG, after her brother is done. We will have to look for additional bureaus, etc. when she arrives.
Today I was to write a creative poetry exercise for Imaginary Garden. I woke up with a headache. I think I am catching a cold, nothing came to mind. I was empty; I found this book online and started writing down the exercises. I 'm curious,what do you do what you are blocked, empty? Do you find other creative outlets? What works for you? I hope you will share here or at the Imaginary Garden. I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas~

I used to sit and play with a slinky at the computer while writing. It helps, to watch something and let your mind drift so it can work out the block.
New follower here; glad to have found your blog!
I walk the dog by the water. always by water or, as with one of your other comenters, I put the writing down and play music. Relaxing, meditative music, that allows you to drift away on it's softness. As your thoughts drift, so other uncontrolled thoughts come to you, too. Without being forced into being.
It doesn't matter what you write, just write. Even if you think you've written garbage. Just make a lost of things you're happy about, things you have to do, wishes, things you want/need. anything. Write your moods, high or low, angry, sad. Just write. It doesn't even have to make sense to anyone but you.
But for me (being Cancerian I suspect) its always water, the sounds, the movement it's my soul food. That, the moon and soft music or relaxation music, like Nadama, 'The Healing Touch'
And many such others like that.
But, stop thinking in terms of being blocked, that is a must. Change your thinking and your writings will return. Hugs.
