Wow. There is nothing like stress to put a damper on creativity! For the past week I have been struggling with several freelance writing assignments that I got. It's been at least six months since I've had to work on a deadline, and I forgot what that feels like!
Don't get me wrong. I love a good challenge. Quite frankly, I do my best work under tremendous pressure. But the old procrastination beast in me reared her ugly head, so to speak, and I got way stressed.
Meantime, I have had a healthy list of projects and creative goals for myself sitting in the back of my head (and on a very prominent 'to-do' list on my desk), tempting me like that bag of chocolate chips in the cupboard.
I can feel it brewing, this creativity storm, waiting to pour into my life after I send of my final drafts tomorrow. For now, I must force myself to put up an umbrella and power through to the end of my assignment. Just a few more AP-styled paragraphs and the storm of '06 can safely arrive!
