Rebooting my creativity...

The other day Alexander sent me some music he had been working on. Very good music, I might add. He had an idea for some lyrics he told me about and asked if I could write something for this song. I've been trying to ever since. I used to write lyrics everyday and for months now I got out of practice. It seems it would be easy to just jot down a few lines and see where it takes me but that hiatus from writing has really caused a blockage of mass proportion for me.

I keep thinking nothing I write is good enough. It all seems trite and silly and I am battling with a lack of inspiration. I'm going to keep at it though. I am making some head way...inching closer to where I think I can come up with something to send him.

Turns out creativity is not like riding a bicycle, where you can just get on one after years of not riding and it all comes back to you again. There's more to it than simple balance and keeping your feet moving. Writing for me, has always been cathartic and a mind-clearing occupation. Over these past months there has been much on my mind and now it appears all of those thoughts are muddled together like so many cobwebs. I need a mind sweep.
