Famous Last Words

In the weeks since spring break I haven’t been able to easily find by creative spirit when it comes to writing. I can’t say that I am experiencing writers block. I have had no problem just letting many of my writing assignments across other classes as well as all the writing I do at for work project proposals and summaries jus roll out onto paper. Even right now as I write this blog post summarizing my week of writing, it feels like it is just pouring out at a conversational pace. 

But writing my story for this week’s Story telling assignment felt like a total wreck. I knew what I wanted to write about from my reading notes. That was no problem. This entire semester, I have found  myself happy with the challenge of taking the Indian Epic stories and transforming them into a contemporary tale relative to today’s society. This week was left searching through a lot of black space in my mind. I feel like I am having a hard time finding bearing where I felt a very clear direction earlier in the semester.

My Storybook Addition this week has been something I have been fairly excited to get back to. I have been very pleased with the adventures of Deepak as he explores and discovers the mysteries of the Konark Temple thus far. But this week’s addition ended up being a little more convoluted than I had anticipated. I am certainly going to need to revisit the latest page and look for ways to whittle down the story line before the final act is presented. In addition to the creative side of the story, I have realized through further research that I have mislabeled some of the architectural nomenclature. I take this as a positive step because it is naturally an indication that I am learning new things about a field I am very competent in. But it means that some serious review of the story at large is obligatory.

So, famous last words for the week? I'm tired and I'm ready to sign out. May we all have a more creative spirit in the weeks ahead!
