I have been blogging there with some success, and now I can feel the creative cogs beginning to turn again.

I have gotten several out and am feeling a little better about myself.

Take your time and when you start to feel the urge to create or write start small. I only answered 1 letter a week. After a while I was back at it..although my responses are not as quick as they used to be I am enjoying the process again.

Maybe they just need some hibernation time. In the meantime, maybe you could try some other creative projects focused on something else just to keep that part of your brain interested and active?JoAnnahttp://www.the52lettersproject.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109294976529710688.post-34598546684500876772012-11-20T07:27:49.710-08:002012-11-20T07:27:49.710-08:00Thank you dear Elle!

Be patient and let the passion come when it wants. It may start with something very small and can also finally lead you to some totally new areas and ideas. :)Sirpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06780164187558778231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109294976529710688.post-18325294251234073952012-11-20T06:57:11.003-08:002012-11-20T06:57:11.003-08:00Thank you Sirpa for your encouraging words! It is ...Thank you Sirpa for your encouraging words! It is true I often have times where I lose interest in things that I have loved doing before...this time though it seems to have taken quite a while to come around again. I am still hoping to get my creative juices flowing again, I may have to start somewhere else,(for example maybe start on my other blog that is very relevant to my current situation), and then once I am back in the habit of being creative again, I can start doing a better job on my postal interests. <br />You are a wonderful photographer, I have been blessed with some of your photos and have enjoyed them very much! I will check out your new blog and comment there so you know I've visited. Hugs!

Lovely to hear of you!
I think it&#...Hi dear Ellen!<br />Lovely to hear of you!<br />I think it's totally normal to lose the passion for different things every now and then; at least it's normal for me.<br />I love to knit but haven't been able to start anything or continue with the unfinalized ones during the whole year, but about a month ago I again found my passion for this and now I have two knittings going on.<br />And also I have been very lazy with mail art now, though I always think I should do something new when I'm looking at my mail art blog which has got very few postings nowadays.<br />But I have also got interested in something new! I started a photo blog, Picture of the Day, and I'm really excited of that now! I try to blog a photo every day, a photo taken on that day or at least not more than one week ago, and I'm so happy when I find new things to be photographed! :) Take a look here www.pictopical.blogspot.fi<br />Hugs!!Sirpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06780164187558778231noreply@blogger.com
