Later that night, Michael and I went to Nishino's for dinner. It was kind of a crummy day. We both weren't feeling well, but sushi can always cheer Michael up. We ended up at the bar and randomly got into a great conversation with the guy sitting next to us. I won't go into too much detail about it as I'm hoping it'll turn out into a cool story that I can post months or years after, but I will say this stranger kicked my writing funk to the curb!
It's crazy how meeting new people can do that for you. Give you a breath of fresh air, a new perspective, and even some inspiration.
So for the rest of the weekend, I caught up in some writing and delved into some YA books. Writing and reading. Two of my favorite things in the world, how could I have neglected it for so long? Getting back into the groove, I felt so much better. YA Lit, that's where I belong. It always feels like home when I get into a good book. So somehow someway, I'm going to get there and be a part of it, because that's the only place I see myself.
Thus, look forward to more writing progress as well as book reviews :)
And for something completely random, check out this delicious eggs benedict that made it into my belly Sunday morning from Tallulah's. Yuuummmmmm.
So happy to hear the funk has ended, but remember it's okay if you fall into a funk again. It happens to some of the best and most famous authors in the world. Because it's not about the destination, its about the journey -- because when you look back at the whole thing, writing a book I mean, you will be so proud of yourself and all the things you've overcome...whether its just writers block, or things in your life that have slowed you down.....They will all be worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteP.S. the eggs Benedict is seriously making me drool.
