It is so easy to get overwhelmed.
Since the start of the year I have been absolutely preoccupied with raising money for RedBubble. Most of the work has been compiling a business plan and writing a long document about the company. Sharing this with investors has been relatively straightforward. (And despite the very difficult funding environment things are going OK).
The real downside has been that this appears to have consumed my imagination. I have been left with seeming nothing to say. It reminds me of other stages in my “career” when the doing consumes everything else.
it isn’t very healthy. I lose perspective and the reason for it all. I fail to see RedBubble as the wonderful, complete thing it is. And I also lose the ability to enjoy it properly.
Perhaps I am shaking this off – again. As I just wrote something which though a bit derivative of something else I wrote, is also OK.
It isn’t so easy in the distraction of the world coming at you to find that quiet inner peace where you can see the world in perspective.

You are doing fine in my eyes. I get blocked sometimes to the point I just want to scream. It’ll come back to you. I’ll be here waiting to see what you write next.

I encourage you to not lose heart, I call it seasons in life, there’s times when work or
concerns take away creative time.
Feel it ,let it go, don’t become burdened. Take time out to feel the touch of Nature,
creativeness with in you will flow from you again. It never needs to end. It has it’s time.
thank you for sharing with us all x

How true, I find nature and meditation can do if for me, brings me back on track. But I need to make a concerted effort to indulge myself!
