Sometimes you have nothing to say and that’s okay.
This is happening right now in my life. I don’t have anything to say. No next big ideas buzzing in my head. Just a lot of silence.
At first I panicked. ”The well has dried out! What if I’ll never create anything great ever again!” I started this huge drama around getting back to that wonderful place of creativity.
When I finally let go, relaxed and accepted the silence, something rather strange happened.
I started drawing cartoons.
For no reason at all other than I felt like it. It had no purpose. It wasn’t going to make any money. It wasn’t going to get me to new heights. I wasn’t part of some plan of becoming a great artist.
It was just something I enjoyed doing.
I’ve been drawing them for three days now. Who knows what’s going to happen next.
If you have nothing to say, it’s okay. Although the silence can be scary, just enjoy it while it lasts. It’s time to play.
