Writer's Block Averted. For Now.

My writing companion. She likes to
try to help me with my writing.

This month has been about challenging myself to exercise more, and harder, and cut back on sugar and eat a little healthier in general. This seems like the sort of thing you are supposed to do at the beginning of a new year, but I like to do things because I choose to, not because it is what everyone else is doing.

I had sugar for the first time in over three weeks. I was supposed to be off sugar for the entire month of April, but I found that I've been compensating for the lack of sugar by eating more carbs. In effort to be healthier, I am re-introducing a little bit of sugar into my diet.

It seems like every time I have victory in one area of my life, another issue flares up. But that is life, isn't it? As you might have noticed, I haven't been posting as consistently for the past two weeks. I have been struggling to find anything worth writing about. Not just in this blog, but also my story. I was halfway through my book and then progress came to a halt. I had some nasty writers block, and I  started second-guessing myself.

As frustrating as that was, I finally today worked out a new--and better--direction for my story, and the writer's block was gone. It's amazing how that works. And of course, as soon as it was gone for my creative writing, it was a lot easier to write another blog post too. Figures.
