When Inspiration Fades: Uncovering the Hidden Truth Behind Writing’s Silent Pause
Three months before the publication of my memoir, I stopped writing.
I’m swimming out to sea in waters that dissolve into the blackness of the sky. No stars or moon
illuminate my course. My strokes become unsteady and I try to return to shore, but my internal compass fails me. Then the blanket wrapped around me slips into the waves. I gasp for air: Will I find my way back?
Before reaching land, I wake.
For weeks, I’ve carried this dream, one that feels less like a nightmare and more like a mirror of my current writing world.
