Creative Unblockage---A Little Help From My Friends

As a creative sort, I use up a whole lot of energy on whatever task I'm creating at the moment, and writing a blog post has been sitting on the back burner. I think I need a turntable, or a lazy-susan. It would be sectioned off and labeled "Writing", "Crocheting", "Papercrafting", "Learning a New Craft". I would turn it to the next section and work on that project, then turn again. Unfortunately, it would have a very big section labeled "Maintaining an Etsy Store."

I probably need a whole turntable just for my Etsy store. I used to label days of the week with different activities, such as photography day, listing day, crocheting day, but there weren't enough days in the week. Part of the reason is because I'm so slow.

With the mental and physical fatigue of fibromyalgia, things that used to take me a short time, now take forever. I've read articles about time management that say to spend one hour a day on the internet. That was supposed to include updating Facebook and Twitter, as well as answering emails and blogging. An hour a day gets me answering my email, to give you an idea of how slow I am.

Fall Into Writing

September 1 - Why have you decided to participate in The Autumn Blog Challenge (The ABC)?

What would a blog be without posts, especially ones on a regular basis? The bloggers in the blog challenge push me to write. They keep me accountable for getting it done. Plus, I have learned so much from the bloggers in the Summer Blog Challenge that I want to contribute even more. Hopefully, with continued writing within this community, I can become a better blogger and a contributor to a better cyber world. I want to promote the other writers as well by encouraging them and sharing their posts.

I have no ambitions of being able to write everyday. Living with fibromyalgia, I've learned to not make those kinds of demands on my time. I still have things to make for my Etsy shop; I have to promote my shop through my blog and other social media; I have family and friends to whom I give my time. But first and foremost, I give my time to God. Without His help and guidance I would have nothing

I really look forward to reading everyone's posts. If you are interested in joining this challenge, click the button on the left side of the blog, Autumn Blog Challenge.
