TMB: My Writer’s Block

January 27, 2019 By Caroline Trudeau 2 Comments

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

In doing some maintenance on The Voices Collection today, I realized that I haven’t written anything for the blog in almost a month.聽 Thoughts of doubt came rushing to my head: how are you calling yourself a writer, a blogger, if you aren’t even writing?!

So many thing have happened since I last wrote: I returned to the US, and now to Europe again, a sickness, the holidays, a new year, the miracle of my niece’s birth, career and life-changing decisions right in front of me, even creative work for a paycheck; I wonder how come I can neither find the inspiration to string along a few thoughts and sentences nor the motivation to sit quietly and stare at the white screen.

Reflecting on my afternoon in Munich yesterday where, accompanied by a kindred spirit, I visited the Literaturhaus to see visual story teller聽Christoph Neimann‘s latest exhibit, I recall his solution to this fear of being out of ideas: CREATE.

Start, do something, until something sticks.聽 And keep going.聽 Even if it takes 10000 hours.

This is my sketchbook, where I practice my art, my reactive dialogue and my empathy.

    Yes! Keep going. Your voice matters. Thanks for sharing your thoughts today. Idea (maybe?) triggered by your post today – Miracles: things we don;t notice, or overlook , or accept as ‘normal’, but they are in their special way miracles.

The @glossoverpodcast is back! In our come back ep The @glossoverpodcast is back!
In our come back episode (#80), @fleurtmeaghan and I talk about what we were up to during our 2020 hiatus. 

For me, it was about slowing down, getting clarity about myself, realizing how few things are actually worthy of my energy and about resting and healing post back surgery. 

We are on The Voices Collection and everywhere you consume your podcasts. 

What was your #2020 #hiatus like?

Introducing The Dance Floor @ #Club1670. It is a Introducing The Dance Floor @ #Club1670. 

It is a project a very long time in the making. I had a suspicion I would eventually replace the carpet when at 27 years old, I set my mind (and all my savings) on winning the real estate bidding war on #300. 

I had no idea it would take me 17 years, 5 dogs, several Friendsgivings, countless parties, 6 jobs, a global pandemic and all the beautiful messes we made along the way to get here. 

I wanted to bring #Europe to #Reston with a herringbone wood floor. Then, I realized the impracticality and rarity of this gorgeous craft in #America. It made no sense to invest in it for The Club. 

Finally, it was this engineered wood called Seaside I selected. I knew I made the right decision when I turned the sample around and saw its country of origin: #Germany 馃枻鉂わ笍馃挍. 

It鈥檚 even better than I had imagined. 

You are invited. Bring your favorite socks and dance jam.  #letsdance
