Writing is Hard

Some days it's easier to write than others...

Not only The Crux, but several writing jobs I am working on. I finished one and it was tough. It was sell copy written for a shopping mall leasing team. Client loved it. I was pleased with a good feeling of accomplishment. I need to bask in that feeling more. My writing partner is teaching me a great deal.

I should be working on a press release right now, but instead have just woken up from a long afternoon nap. This past week I felt like I was running a marathon. Work full time. Freelance full time. I'm exhausted.

Looking at the blank page of a writing job is much like when I was a junior designer looking at the blank page. I know now, from my 15 years of experience as a designer, I just need a process. I know the writing is good.

Love to hear your process.

Far End of the Sofa

Worked on the website for three days straight... drank copious amounts of Yorkshire Tea and ate whatever food was presented.

It occurred to me after peeling off my pjs worn since Friday and finally getting into the shower... that this weekend was not unlike periods of depression I’ve experienced... sitting on the far end of the sofa in my own stench.

Difference now... the sense of hope and excitement I have about this project... But always aware of the black dogs that hover around the clearing, bounded by thickets. Need to pace myself.
