“Write no matter what dramas and conflicts are happening in your life. Storms will rage, lovers will leave, and friends will disagree. Write despite the weather, your broken heart, or bruised feelings. There will never be perfect conditions for writing, when all is peace and tranquility. Chances are once one area of your life smoothes out, another will erupt. Find the equanimity within, no matter the conditions in your outer world.”

Jessica Page Morrell, The Writer’s I Ching


Once in awhile, I pull a card from the deck of cards that came in The Writer’s I Ching. Amazingly, the card I pick always seems to address whatever problem I’m dealing with in my writing. The above passage is at the heart of my writing resistance/procrastination. I always allow life to pull me off track, always waiting for things to calm down before I get going again. This has certainly been the case for the past couple of weeks. Apparently, I need to knock it off. The I Ching says so. :)
