We all need breaks from time to time. It's normal. I view words as my paint and writing as the paintbrush, on this big open blank canvas. I create. But what I am creating is art and the ART is the story. What stories shall we tell? There is SO much on medium that is how to, formulaic, prescriptive and academic. But story telling - true story telling - that is the art. Maybe, if you are a story teller too, that's enough to keep your flame lit. It works for me. It works for most storytellers. Just tell your story. AND we don't always have a story to tell, on demand, every day. Stories are usually triggered by something. THEN, they come tumbling out, effortlessly, like water over a waterfall.
