Post Holiday Slump
I've hit a bump, I'm in a slump. I think I've lost my muse.
The pen I hold dear, just can't get in gear. Now I'm about to blow a fuse.
Perhaps if I read, Ideas will breed And a story will soon come.
But as for now, sadly I feel like a real bum!
(A lame attempt at poetry by Sharon)

Is that Costa Rica???? Beautiful! Its hard to feel sorry for you when I know you took that picture while we were stuck in the snow! Still, the muse comes and goes. Writing is cyclical so don't give up and know it will come back soon!
Read, read, read!! It always jumpstarts my desire to write. Sorry you're blue. I might have some good news today or tomorrow to hopefully inspire you...
