We are "friends" on Facebook, and I love your posts, blog and your work. I know we don't know each other personally, but please know that you are not alone in what you feel. I think there are times when we all lose our sense of concentration and creativity. For me, my depression will often times kick in and I'm down in a pooper. For you, possibly the fibro. And yes, changing your hormone prescriptions can have a drastic effect. Just a suggestion here but you may want to consult with your md and see if somehow, he/she can get you on the script that works for you and then clarify with your insurance co. that that is the only drug you can be on. Sometimes, the insurance co will abide by that. You may have a little higher copay but....if the pros outweigh the cons then it may be worth it. You need to focus on being healthy for yourself and your family. Your creative genius will always be lurking. I honestly don't think you need to worry about submissions or lack thereof. Those in the business know your work and will always accept you when you are ready! You are a phenomenal woman. Take good care. Hi Annie.

Enjoy the time to do other things that you love to do like making that hat and taking care of yourself. Odds are that in the creation of that hat you will see a curve of yarn or the color in sunlight that will be just what you may need to get your juices flowing. Wouldn't the creative life be boring if it was on an even keel all the time? Or wouldn't we go out in flames if the ideas overflowed constantly? Thus we all have that down time. Enjoy it for what it is knowing its another step in the process. You do such terrific work and your work ethic is great -its not going to go away. beth I think what we perceive as blocks are the times we need to bring in, gather and sift ideas that will explode in a creativity frenzy at a later date.
