So true, Neidy! I am feeling the lack of input in my own life right now—quite acutely. And I have noticed it take a toll on my writing. I have “wrung the tag dry” and need to soak up more experience, more observation, before I can continue. Thanks for the reminder that this is common—and that there is a solution.
This reminds me of on of the seven habits : “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” I’m not a writer but I’m sure there’s a specific finesse that’s required of you to postpone certain works and acquire an adequate pool of resource (experiences, vocabulary, etc) to feel like you can do Justice to the expression of your ideas. You continue to amaze and inspire me sister! Keep up the fantastic work!
