I’ve been increasingly frustrated lately with my inability to find a creative outlet. The desire is there… I want to write, I want to be creative… but the ability just isn’t there.
I don’t think this was a big problem in the past since I was able to be creative in my developmental endeavors. Coming up with solutions to complex technical issues and developing tools to assist in the process was a creative outlet. My new job, however, is lacking this creativity. Not that I dislike my current job, I actually like it quite a bit, I think I am just now having to find that creative outlet in other areas… and it has been a struggle.
One other possibility is that I haven’t been attending school the past year. For quite some time I was taking a class or two at a time. The assignments allowed for some level of creative output. I’ve been out of school mode for over a year now, so maybe it’s a combination of these two items.
look around you when the kids are home.
you’ re creativity is standing there.
