I know how lucky I am to be paid to write. I know how lucky I am to live in a beautiful, peaceful, modern country. I know how lucky I am to enjoy the friends and family I do. I know it. And yet it’s one of those days when everything I want feels a million miles away.
What do you do when you don’t want to do the work you love anymore? When what you should be doing feels like what you shouldn’t be doing. When you look back at all you’ve done and ask “so what?” What now?
I wish I had an answer for you. All I know is that even this is part and parcel of living the creative life, that some days you will feel really bad about the work you do or don’t do, and there doesn’t seem any way forward except to get on the treadmill and trudge on, again and again, one weary step at a time.
