Sometimes Uninspired

My blogging seems to be running in spells these days.   I may get a spurt of inspiration and blog every day.  Or, I might go a week without publishing any blog at all.  A really lovely friend of mine gets worried about me when she doesn't find any blog posts. Eventually, I get an email from her, checking to see if I am okay.  It's nice to be missed!   For her sake, and any others who might wonder,  do not worry if you find no new blogs.  I do get dry spells.   The river runs dry.

On the other hand, I sometimes get great bursts of intense creativity, surprising even myself.  A month or so ago, I wrote a lovely poem for my blog  (Nature Knows), and thought it was so good, I sent it off to a poetry contest I found on line.  A few weeks later, I got a letter of congratulations saying that my poem was selected for the semi-finals.

My blog is my primary writing outlet.  But some days, I am much more into reading than writing  (or cooking, playing tennis, visiting, watching tv).  I may simply be completely uninspired.  That is my confession for the day for all the world to hear.

I await my muse. May she come again!
