When the Creative Juices Don’t Flow
I love to write, and even if I didn’t blog, I know I’d be writing in my personal journal — which has rarely missed a day since sixth grade.
(Friends in college affectionately called my various tomes the “Chronicles of Melissa Marion;” if those journals ever got into the hands of the wrong people … oh boy!

Sometimes, in spite of my love of putting pen to paper (or typing) I just don’t have much to say about food, exercise, disordered eating, recovery …
The creative juices just always aren’t there, and I can’t make them pop up out of thin air.
And so on those days, instead of forcing myself to come up with something to say, I’ve decided it’s ok to just take a breather. Maybe look outside for good articles to share, etc., and if I still ‘got nuthin,’ then I’ll just chillax.
This might sound like a “duh” to some of my readers, but this has been on my mind a lot lately, especially since things have been going relatively smoothly. (more…)
