Lull Before the Creative Storm

I am always so startled when I realize I haven't posted here for so long. Truth is, I have been having trouble simply coming up with things to write. I could lament the unfairness or long hours of life but that is incidental and no one wants to listen to it anyhow. Perhaps it is better to point out how I am handling the lull in creativity. 

Creativity is something I have more than a passing interest in. Particularly, where it comes from and how to make the most of it. Mine seems to be dependant upon how much I have to do within the household before I can get to the art. I find, also, that mood and health have strong effects. 

There are some times when I can't get out of a creative hole and I scribble the same things over and over. Other times the images come in titanic waves and no amount of paper is enough to get it all down. 

Happily, I have reached a peacefulness about the lulls and the tsunamis. It is still disconcerting to stare at a blank screen/page/canvas but now I have enough experience to understand that it is temporary. 

The muse has not abandoned me. It is just taking a breather.
