Something is missing in my enthusiasm and also in the fact that to get back my desire for writing I have also not wanted to listen to any music.
Now music and writing are what my world revolves around. Of course. I have other interests as well but those were always my two main ones. I suppose I have been working so hard and worrying about getting more writing jobs that it could be I have had a wipeout. So the one thing I tell myself is to remember one of my favorite series Gidget with Sally Field and when she had a wipeout she would grab onto her surfboard and get right back into the water.

This was one of my favorite songs, from the 60s. They were fabulous musicians! That's a coincidence, I've put my writing/music on a back burner, also. Why? Because I feel uninspired and discouraged!

Well, I will put in a prayer that both of us can get back to being inspired and feeling good about ourselves. I know it can be done. For me, it will be finally landing a good writing job What about you @kobesbuddy ?

@RasmaSandra I only have one writing job, but I love writing. Now, I'm just uninspired about it. Thank you, for your prayers!

My writing has been suffering the past few months. I hope you get a lot of new writing jobs and that your interest in writing returns.

I really enjoy listening to old songs to feel inspired and motivated! I'll try to give it a listen.
