Dear Louisa, I suppose the best of the world is working in some sort of interactive zeitgeist. Your note to your readers, initially proposing your daily blog, but explaining the reasoning behind it, caught my interest because I, and I suspect a great many of your readers, identify with the 'how-do-I-keep-the-energy-and-originality-flowing? syndrome.
I have kept a notebook for ever - well, for the past forty plus years. Every now and then I actually look back through them to sample the moments of the day or to find those strange, incidental moments of creativity. Following your initial series blog I identified with your drive to build/rebuild your creativity and to reconnect with your 'muse' - I'm putting words in your mouth here, but that's how I interpreted it.
I have started going back through my old notebooks, specifically with the intention of rekindling the creative state of mind.
It works! Better than I ever imagined!
...maybe I'll even get something published one day...
(but in the meantime, I feel, at last, that I have a useful creativity foundation.)
So glad you are finding inspiration in the posts. I certainly get motivated to keep working on balancing all the parts of my life by knowing that I am accountable to you all. I do hope that my posts on my indie journey are also helpful in your own journey.
I love and have Jacaranda trees. Plant them in a lawn and no problem with the lovely fallen blossoms. How do you motivate yourself? I am such a procrastinator. Then I'm rushed and irritable when I finally get to the writing...deadline looming! Eeek!
We love Martin Freeman too and like you, found the first episode of Responder too grim and dark to finish.

...they are. Most definitely. Thank you
