Gorgeous rabbit! What was its name?
As a busy mom who works part-time outside the home, I truly sympathize with you.
It is difficult to try and squeeze in time for ourselves but we need to to it, otherwise we would go insane and take the kids and hubby with us, lol!
Going to the movies is a great way to relax your mind. Taking a walk in the park, calling up a loved one, or just popping in a great funny video. And even surfing the net could help you get inspired.
I wish I could take some of that load off but God can do it. Just Him.
God can do it. And sometimes, God wants us to be quiet and reflect and NOT create. I'm still getting used to His timing versus mine. My rabbit was Bunzer. I loved that rabbit. He was trained like a dog, if you flicked the light on outside, he'd come get something to eat. Bananas were his fave, and he'd beg, the ears would fall back. TOOO cute.
That is such a cute photo of you!
I am finding that creativity breeds creativity. If I don't feel in the mood to write, I might work on something else I do feel like doing. For me, that's crafting or decorating. After I've worked on something else that was creative, I feel more inspired and ready to get that BIC. :)
While I'm not an author, I still am a wife and mother, though my family is grown and gone now. I still have BIC moments and what gets me going is guilt. I know I have to get something done and I love to procrastinate. However, guilt usually wins out because I hate how it feels after a while. And I REALLY hate apologizing for missing a deadline!
Such a cute picture of you, K!
I love the movie idea that Leticia mentioned. It always inspires me to come home and write.
What makes me put my BIC is the fear of coming down to deadline and having to somehow crank out pages and pages of material. Not for me. I'm a steady-as-she-goes kinda gal.
I can procrastinate for days, avoiding the important work. Then when the deadline is upon me, I'm in a stress-inducing panic and am buried in guilt for waiting until the last minute. Yep, that's when I can finally find it in me for BIC. Sigh. Wish I had a better m.o.
Kristin, guess what? I caught a rabbit Friday night. Apparently this beautiful bunny was abandoned, because he was very, very tame. When I brought him inside he made himself at home. He even jumped in my lap and stayed.
My husband wouldn't allow me to keep him. I sincerely hope the new owners will take great care of him. It was love at first sight.
Bunzer now that is an interesting name. I like it!
