Moving Forward

This morning I had writer's block. I tried a couple different writing ideas. One was to write on my feelings on the possibility that I have a paid position as a peer specialist.In the other of the 2 attempts at writing an article this morning I tried using an affirmation as a writing prompt. I usually can come up with good articles from an affirmation.
I ended up writing an article later that morning. I was not especially pleased with it but I wrote. It is often the act of writing that is important. We have to keep writing even when we are uninspired. This helps us to dig down and write our very best when we are inspired.
Later this afternoon I re-explored the possibility of writing the article of my feelings around my new opportunity. The opportunity being the peer specialist position at the mental health care agency in town. I am very excited to get this chance. However, I am almost sad to say good bye to this time in my life in which I was totally committed to being a writer.
This morning I wrote that I had mixed emotions about turning this page in my life. I thought of my feelings around this subject invalid. After all I will be able to continue writing if I get this job. However, I do not want to deny my feelings. I have loved creating this blog. Naturally as my attention shifts towards something new I will have a little sadness.
