I think that’s definitely true. I don’t think I am lacking creativity right now, we’re doing so much at the press at the moment both for the books we’re working on and for a bunch of other things in development. And there’s only so much time in the day

I do miss the outlet of the crafting -it feels like a different kind of creativity. And for me, it recharges my well for then having something to throw into the press.

Yeah. Especially when you work and have a life, there’s only so much time left in the week.

What you said about ‘creativity being funnelled into work’ reminded me of something. I think sometimes when we talk creativity, we think only of artistic endeavour, whereas anything that requires problem solving is going to involve creativity.

Maybe sometimes when we think we’ve lost the creative urge, what’s actually happening is that we’re funnelling that creativity somewhere else. So the question becomes – what do I want to expend my creative energy on?

Hmm, brain is pondering…

I have been thinking about something similar myself. A couple of months ago I had a stellar reading month and okay blogging month but this month it is the other way around, but let’s not talk about any of my craft stuff.

Seems as though something has to give somewhere and for me that it is in the crafting at the moment.
