While it’s been some time since I’ve posted, I am happy to report that it is not by any means due to a lack of productivity in terms of writing.  After a lull, my motivation is back with a new script idea.  The feeling of creativity is great.

It also took some heavy duty evolution, and not just on a internal level.  Every writer has their own space.  A nook where writers can feel uninhibited and have their ideas run free.  For me, it’s a tiny desk that sits in my bedroom.

I admit, I get distracted very easily.  If I don’t have music or the television going then I can’t concentrate.  So, on my very tiny work desk sits my iPod stereo as well as a mini-DVD player.  Depending on what I’m writing, my taste in music and DVD’s change with it.  I also suffer from the classic writer syndrome of keeping piles of paper everywhere, so I have a small shelf next to my desk where my collection of random stuff can rest.  I’m also a big fan of scented candles so one usually sits next to my lamp.  Essentially, this is where I call home.

Earlier in the week, I struggled with something that I’ve never encountered before.  Normally, I have one big idea and work on it over a long period of time.  During my recent writer’s block, I sat with five or six ideas at once, but didn’t feel the motivation to really sit down and invest in any of them.

Luckily, this streak ended when I tore my desk arrangement apart and put it back together again.  As usual, my inspiration came from somewhere unexpected.  Unpredictable, yes, but what I can control is what I need to be myself, to be a writer.

I know nothing about feng shui, but it’s definitely gone up on my list of things-to-look-into.
