I believe these writings and rumblings come from Musings... and then, when you feel IT... paper gets filled. <BR/>I don´t know. Most of my writing, and certainly I am not a scholar, but a humble teacher, happens in large chunks as if touched by a Muse.<BR/><BR/>Though you can try draftting... jotting notes... then, when the Muse comes, you just put things together.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634128553847103919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224471383814317075.post-36473827008456422292008-10-20T17:04:00.000-04:002008-10-20T17:04:00.000-04:00M0nkeyboy, that's kind of what I've been doing.

I have this book called <I>Refuse to Choose,</I> about how to cope with it if you're the kind of person who is always wanting to do a million things at once; I should go back and re-read it.<BR/><BR/>Inês raven, you are welcome. It's hard to find out information about the original Roman Goddesses before Greek influence.<BR/><BR/>Beweaver, yes, thinking and taking in and wondering are part of the process. It just feels like I've been doing that for the last year or so, and now stuff is wanting to go the other way and come out; but I'm so used to taking things in I don't know quite how to switch the energy.

Even the sitting there looking at all the skeins I dyed (yeah me too) or all the beads or just doing a fabric inventory to see what project calls me next. It's one of the reasons I don't mind the rain here in the Pacific Northwest. It's perfect for this kind of thing.<BR/><BR/>I'm currently in a weird art space. I'm moving soon and knowing that in a few weeks I'll have easy access to all the supplies that are so difficult to get to right now is what is keeping me going.<BR/><BR/>I just love the process even though when in the days of nothing happening that feels weird and uncomfortable. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tag by the way.

Ceres is my beloved Goddess and I really don't know about this study and this other goddes. Gonna chek out more about it!<BR/><BR/>In fact, I look for your Ceres' calendar all day. It stays in my work desk. :)Inês Barretohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869751807131464796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224471383814317075.post-45495943065614580692008-10-20T04:04:00.000-04:002008-10-20T04:04:00.000-04:00I've heard advice that goes both ways, but even th...I've heard advice that goes both ways, but even though I have a hard time with it myself, I think the best approach is to finish the other one before you move on to the new one. The new one will still be there when you finish, right? I think it was Holly Lisle who said that if you lose the idea, you never really had it.<BR/><BR/>Alternately, if most of your work is spiritual, you could try praying/asking what you "should" be working on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
