Too Many Pieces, Too Little Time: Million Words Project Week 13
Episode Notes
The creative life can be mysterious.
There are weeks when nothing goes right. Distractions are unavoidable. Unexpected detours throw me off course. Nothing quite works out the way it was planned, and EVEN WORSE, sometimes things just fall apart.
And then there are weeks when things seem to come together in ways that were unanticipated, but in a good way. Things are humming along at a steady pace, and I get to the end of the week and think, "Wow. That was pretty good!"
Good weeks. Bad weeks. The ups and downs are to be expected. After twenty years of maintaining a creative life to one degree or another, I'm kind of accustomed to it.
But there is another kind of week that happens from time to time, and I still have difficulty dealing with it.
Those are the weeks where from the outside, everything looks great. But inside, despite everything going right, I find myself facing a crisis of faith in my creative vision.
I'll talk about that, and give you an update on my progress in this week's episode of The Million Words Project.
