When a Muse Takes a Nap
Some days, the words just don’t come. Today is one of those days. I haven’t written a blog in two weeks, and instead of writing, I’ve been building Super Mario characters for Halloween and planning a trip. Creative, yes — but not the kind of writing I promised myself I’d be doing. And today? I’m just…blah.
Today, though? I feel…blah. No big burst of inspiration. No profound story to share. Just the quiet reminder that creativity has its rhythms. Some days are fireworks, others are embers barely glowing. And that’s okay.
Even “blah days” are part of the process. They give us space to rest, reset, and — eventually — return to the page with fresh eyes.
So here’s to the ebb and flow, the spark and the silence. The muse may be napping today, but I know she’ll wake up again soon.
