I have had the worst writer’s block lately. We’re back in town and I have plenty of stories from the trip eastward — many that are downright insane — except I have no patience to sit and write for any length of time. In fact, I am allowing myself a lot of unnecessary anxiety over how and when I am going to sit down and get the trip stories out of me. I want to get them out. But I don’t even know where to start. Or how. Or why.
Sometimes it’s hard to even try until the pictures are ready to post. Except … I took lousy photos, and not many of them.
The muse, she is not with me these days.
Eh.
Try a different medium! Shoot a video of you and Ray telling these stories, like you would in conversation. Then post that. Or start with that and then use it as a writing prompt and don’t even post the video. Or never write about it and let it enrich your “inner blog” (ha!) and many conversations with people who are eager to hear your travel tales. Or start a trip scrapbook or journal (maybe scan it?). Or just scribble them down in a present journal and save them for future use in fiction.
