Now that I quit my job, stopping all creative ideas tied to that job, and I’ve finished the stage play, I feel a creativity limbo coming on.
There seems to be nothing to occupy my creative time. Video games don’t count, they are more of a “don’t think too hard about anything substantive” time. Maybe I just need to go back to the library and just read, that’ll give me the creative time I feel I’m lacking. Maybe.
Right now, I’m too locked into thinking about and plotting work revenge. Now, hold on. I’m talking more about poor feedback reviews on specific people and completing my degree and coming back as an executive leader kind of revenge.
Anyone else remember the time when someone said “revenge” the first thought didn’t involve a firearm? Maybe it’s just me. Rather sad, that.
I just need to walk away, get my mind off of work, not worry about getting up at specific times, recover from all the pain, then my regular creativity will likely come back. Might even complete a premise for another book. That’s something that’ll keep be busy for a couple of years at least.
Hmm, I vaguely remember having an idea for the next book. Used to think about it a lot actually. I hope that comes back to me.
But until then, I need to leave the job, complete the divorce and consider surgery on my feet to relieve the pain. All that and a horrible presidential election year. Ugh. Maybe Zoltan is right, this year will be our last year. We’re kind of asking for it to be.
I’d prefer the limbo though.
