Between Blocks and Breakthroughs

Interview on what it’s like to be creative everyday. When nothing comes to find to write, write an interview of how I am feeling.

What is it like to be creative?

Exhausting!

Really?

Yes,

Tell me more?

My mind spins like a figure skater twirling on the cold, pale lavender ice.

A slippery path I glides down, catching glimpses of

vibrant images, intriguing word play, catchy phrases,

Powerful sounds, soothing textures,

Heartbreaking memories, cherished ones too.

Thoughts cascade together like a beautiful waterfall.

But then, what direction should I take next?

What is my purpose?

What’s my lasting goal?

As the heavy red curtain parts, like in a Broadway show,

Time—

Time is my greatest antagonist.

It can slip away softly, like falling snow,

Or rush past me like quicksand,

Leaving me clutching at the sinking sunkiss grains of a fleeting moment.

But that is life isn’t it?

Oh, I know it is. The thing is, I just wish that my creativity would flow as regularly as the crystal spring rivers.

If life were a human being, what would you like to say?

Please, stop throwing me curveballs like a New York Yankee pitcher. Just let me be. My brain feels like it’s on Space Mountain roller coaster, with twist and turns and jagged drops of mind numbing void.

Do you regret choosing a career that demands creatively every day?

Regrets? Never! I wouldn’t miss this ride for anything.
