Great post! I haven't read the relevant chapters of the Artist's Way, done morning pages, or any writing, for about three weeks due to Easter holidays, life, to do lists, everything you described. But I started again this morning and plan to catch up with the chapters.

Helen thank you for writing this ... So much of this I was like yes! Me too! My next Substack is all about self - compassion and was born from feeling stuck myself .. maybe this is all part of The Artist's Way ? Or perhaps like you said we just needed a little break ... and self - compassion 🙏💞 also I loved American Fiction! Great movie !

Oh, this resonated with me big-time! The feeling of being stuck and the insecurities that come with that are so real. Thank you for sharing this.

Brilliant! Loved reading this and *onward* with the creative piece! As others have said that really does describe me too. So this chapter, and your reflections on it, spoke to me. So good to know you are creating something new.

Hi Helen, I am going through similar phase and I pray it is a phase and we will push ourselves through it and come out stronger.

Loved this piece Helen. It’s crazy what thoughts we let have a comfy spot in our brain and psyche. Time to do some much needed decluttering and get them out!

We can do this!
