Swap-Bot Art Journal Round Robin Page, "Moment"

Creativity status: recovered. Thank God. Hate feeling lost in limbo. Finished the pages for this round of the art swap; working on my I Heart Zines swap; gearing up for NaNoWriMo; feeling like I'm back in full gear. Aren't you glad?

Uh oh, creativity lurch.

So I was humming along, making stuff, writing stuff, working on this new blog I have in the works...doing my eight pages for a Swap-Bot Art Journal Round Robin and getting slightly frantic about the upcoming I Heart Zines swap for Alma Stoller, which is not as far along as I might like.

Then today I sent the kids off to school and planned to do a bunch of work and there is nothing in my head. Nothing. I've stalled on the art journal, can't think of anything to post about, and want to turn the fabric art journal I have in front of the sewing machine into a big ol potholder and be done with it. Do not even discuss the zines I'm supposed to be making.

Is it because it's October and grey and all the leaves have fallen off the gum tree by the side window? Or because I have fished out my little trout pond of creativity? Or is it just natural to stall out? The terrible thing is that it feels like I'll never make a damned thing again, ever. I know this is crap but it still feels like that.

Gah. And that's all I have to say about that.
