Maybe if we can ride it out next year will be better and then we won't feel like this anymore... Thanks ladies, and yes it’s been a rough year, hasn’t it?

I am only just now starting to take photos again. My whole creative focus has tilted slightly since Mum died. You will be right, maybe you should just focus on your garden(or something else) for a bit and put the blog aside for a couple of weeks. Also I reckon 50 000 words in a month is just putting unecessary pressure on yourself. xox Kim You are not alone in feeling like this. I am only just now starting to take photos again.

I feel like this a LOT, and there's no writing to be done but other stuff. I sort of feel the internet is as much about making connections as it is procrastination. My neighbourhood street is pretty much empty during the day and I am home alone with small children. I *need* to connect to stay sane and that's what the internet does for me.

I too have been having trouble focusing on my blog. In the past when I've had a need to recoup it's taken no longer than a week or so. But now it's been quite some time. I just feel disengaged. I wonder if Facebook, Twitter et al are distracting us too much? Maybe some time away from those is in order. Anyway, time to do some housework! Maybe it’s more than just you.

I can relate. This past 12 months has been a difficult one for me health wise and that seems to have highlighted for me how many different directions I am trying to move in simultaneously. I saw part of Electric Dreams last night as well and admit to feeling quite nostalgic for days when life was simpler. Less fragmented, certainly. Allowing yourself to refocus on your writing isn't a bad thing, although I would miss reading your thoughts here. I hope you are able to take some time to simply relax and take a deep breath and that your world moves back into focus soon. So sorry that you are feeling so distracted and unfocussed, Karen.

Poor things, how will they ever manage?
