What to do.. what to do...

I find myself out of sorts with the writing world these days... I've only written one chapter in the last month.. I think it's a pretty good chapter.. but only one?  Not a great track record.

It's not that I don't have the ideas.. I so want to finish An American Crusade.. and I have so many more I want to write.  In fact, while I was out on my bike ride today, I came up with another idea for a new book.. I just need to start cranking them out...

But it feels like I've lost my writing mojo.. I just can't find the motivation.  I barely blog.. and haven't paid enough attention to my friend's blogs.. I'm not sure why I'm in this writing funk...

What to do?  Open to suggestions.. both good and bad.

I could come up with excuses.. the new job.. the holidays.. maybe because I don't belong to a writing group here in Sacramento.. but none of it's true.  It's something on the inside.. and I'm not sure what it is...

When Austin Powers lost his mojo.. someone stole it from him.. he just had to steal it back...

If only it were so easy..

    Peter, Bill Moyers many years did a series for PBS titled "Creativity". He interviewed writers, painters, film makers and many more. As a conclusion he asked each creative person to describe the creative process. Each one answered the same - all saying that creativity is most like dreaming, a dream like process. Maybe when the body is engaged in heavy physical activity the mind cannot also dream....??? Randy
